This book is, in a sense, complementary to the author's Prolegomena
to the Study of Yeats's Poems. Based on the reasonably definitive
Collected Plays (London, 1952; New York, 1953), it essays for each
play a correction of any error in final dating if such error
exists; a full publication record (keyed to a complete
bibliography), followed by a reference to Wade's Bibliography for
every translation there recorded; notations on first production if
the play has had production; a statement of what is known about
dates of composition and revision, and relevant concerns;
resolution-in careful glosses-of conceivable obscurities; reference
to really important critical comment; and pertinent suggestion of
parallel passages. Appendices present notes on uncollected or
unpublished Yeatsian drama and on the many errors of the 1953
American edition of the plays. This comprehensive study will be
valuable to all Yeatsians and students of the Irish Renaissance in
general, as well as anyone seriously concerned with modern drama.
Like its sister Prolegomena, it will be a particular timesaver to
neophytes in Yeatsian scholarship.
