Ireland's foremost playwright,
Brian Friel, has taken up a position as Senior Fellow in the Department
of English.
The honorary position is designed to recognise the unique
contribution of an individual to a particular discipline, art form or field
of study. The dean of the Faculty of Arts, Professor Fergus D'Arcy, said
the playwright had used his skills to help Irish people to better know
themselves and their culture, and by now such understanding seems inseparable
from his explorations of the culture. "Dr Friel is also an artist of international
reputation," he added. "His work means as much in Tallinn as in Tralee,
and Translations itself has been translated into a great many languages,
from Japanese to Estonian."
