Synge first traveled to the primitive, little-known Aran Islands in 1898. His trip proved to be a wonderfully fruitful and decisive experience. He then went back for part of each summer until 1902.

In it, he said, he had found "the appropriate form through which to explore [his] own place in the universe." What he learned from the Aran Islands led directly to the great plays for which he is chiefly remembered.
