The monograph examines the dramatic works of Brian Friel (Omagh, 1929-2015), one of the most influential Irish playwrights of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. Dr Gavi\u00f1a Costero\u2019s publication fills the existing gap in Spanish-speaking academia by presenting a thorough study of an author capable of merging political theatre and intimate reflections on literary creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research combines postcolonial theory with contemporary analyses of individual and collective memory to identify the key structural elements of Friel\u2019s dramatic work. The study proposes a classification of his theatre plays, covering the period from 1964 to 2005, in five stages, defined by Northern Ireland\u2019s historical context and the influences that shaped his personal life and his professional career.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"393\" height=\"593\" src=\"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/beyond-postmemory\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/597\/2025\/09\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-669\" style=\"width:345px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/beyond-postmemory\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/597\/2025\/09\/image.jpg 393w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/beyond-postmemory\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/597\/2025\/09\/image-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cover of <em>El Teatro de Brian Friel <\/em>(2025) by Dr Mar\u00eda Gavi\u00f1a Costero<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You can retrieve this publication here:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gavi\u00f1a Costero, Mar\u00eda.&nbsp;<em>El Teatro de Brian Friel<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>bailando entre la ficci\u00f3n y la memoria<\/em>, (Oxford, United Kingdom: Peter Lang Verlag, 2025), <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3726\/b22991\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3726\/b22991<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to report that Dr Mar\u00eda Gavi\u00f1a Costero has recently published El Teatro de Brian Friel (2025).
