M. Synge's "The Playboy of the Western World," Christy Mahon departs for a cosmopolitan future at the very moment he demands personal and national sovereignty.

The figure of Christy Mahon challenges what audiences and critics think they know about cosmopolitanism and nationalism, especially as he is updated in recent "Playboy" adaptations for global stages. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Modern Literature is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
