The author notes that in examining the relationship between Translations and its historical context, it is evident that the Act of Union, the Ordnance Survey, the Great Famine, and the existence of hedge and national schools in Ireland exerted an influence, for the theme, plot, and characters Friel created reflect the struggles of the Irish people to define themselves and their place in the world, despite the Anglicizing of their country by the British.
