About this book

The needs of the Irish players' theatre, which by 1912 had its stage at the Abbey in Dublin, lie behind this collection of essays by W. B. Yeats. His preface says that for about ten years he had written little verse and no prose that did not grow from that theatre or the movement around it, and he compares the work to shaping an agate.

The contents begin with thoughts on Lady Gregory's translations of the Cuchulain and Fion cycles, then take in the Discoveries essays, Poetry and Tradition, J. M. Synge, The Tragic Theatre, John Shawe-Taylor and Edmund Spenser.
