About This Book

A survey of the Celtic literary revival as it shaped modern Irish drama, tracing roots in Gaelic legend and folk-song and showing how language, landscape, and national feeling influenced dramatic style. It mixes historical overview with critical portraits of principal dramatists and their plays, discusses players, audiences, and theatrical practice, and profiles younger writers and related figures. Illustrations, commentary, and an appendix of notes collect textual and practical material to map the movement’s themes, artistic aims, and theatrical concerns.
