This study provides a European perspective on the drama of Yeats
and of the Irish playwrights - Wilde and Synge, O'Casey and Beckett
- who share in the achievement of creating a modern 'drama of the
interior'. Professor Worth traces in particular the influence of
Maeterlinck, examining his 'static drama' in some detail. A
dominant theme is the importance of total theatre techniques to the
playwrights of the interior from Wilde in Salome to O'Casey in
plays like Cock-a-Doodle Dandy. Yeats is seen as the great pioneer,
assimilating inspiration from the French, with Arthur Symons as
guide, from Synge, from Gordon Craig and from the No drama, and
evolving a modern technique for a drama of complex
self-consciousness."
