It documents key events in the family's history, including a suicide in 1769 which is echoed in an early Synge play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'I believe this is a model for a new kind of literary-historical project... It is not biography, literary history or criticism, but it is this awkwardness that is also the work's major strength.
