from Part I - Revisionary Foundations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2020
Given the profusion of Irish drama produced between 1880 and 1940, and the profound influence this body of work had on subsequent international theatre, to account fully for the transitions of these decades is a quixotic endeavour. These were, after all, the years in which Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde commanded international stages, the Abbey and Gate Theatres were founded, the Irish peasant drama was developed, the riotous premieres of J. M. Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World (1907) and Sean O’Casey’s The Plough and the Stars (1926) unfurled, and playwrights ranging from W. B. Yeats and Augusta Gregory to Denis Johnston and Teresa Deevy entered public consciousness.
