George Fitzmaurice is best known for his comedy, The Country Dressmaker, produced at the Abbey Theatre in 1907, although he wrote plays for the next fifty years. It is the aim of this critical study of Fitzmaurice not only to make his work better know, but to assess the value of his literary achievement.
Second in the series beginning with Dramatic Fantasies, introduced and edited by H.K. Slaughter.
Austin Clarke is widely regarded as one of 20th-century Ireland's most important poets. In this selection of nearly fifty essays and reviews written over Clarke's long career, he demonstrates that he is an astute and provocative literary critic as well. Having grown up in Dublin when the excitement of the Irish Literary Revival was still running high, Clarke knew many of the principal figures of that movement personally, and his readings of Yeats, Joyce, Synge, O'Casey, Lady Gregory, George Moore, and others enjoy the advantages of an insider's point of view. A selection of Clarke's writings on Yeats is followed by his writings on other Irish writers and the Irish Literary Revival, and on Modern English and American literature. Included as an appendix is an exhaustive list of Clarke's literary criticism published in periodicals.
