About this book

The Irish Dramatic Movement gathers together for the first time all of W.B. Yeats's major dramatic criticism for the years 1899-1919, including previously uncollected material. The essays in this collection address many topics, including the turbulent early years of the Abbey Theatre, the controversies over the plays of John Millington Synge, and the relationship between drama and nationalism. Also evident are Yeats's criticisms on numerous plays, playwrights and productions, both Irish and English.

Reviews

'The volume will help Yeats scholars to get a more rounded view of his literary output by showing how important was his work as a dramatist.' - Edward Bradbury, Contemporary Review
