This book details the Irish socialistic tracks pursued by Bernard
Shaw and Sean O'Casey, mostly after 1916, that were arguably
impacted by the executed James Connolly. The historical context is
carefully unearthed, stretching from its 1894 roots via W. B.
Yeats' dream of Shaw as a menacing, yet grinning sewing machine, to
Shaw's and O'Casey's 1928 masterworks. In the process, Shaw's War
Issues for Irishmen, Annajanska, the Bolshevik Empress, The Tragedy
of an Elderly Gentleman, Saint Joan, The Intelligent Woman's Guide
to Socialism and Capitalism, and O'Casey's The Story of the Irish
Citizen Army, The Shadow of a Gunman, Juno and the Paycock, The
Plough and the Stars, and The Silver Tassie are reconsidered,
revealing previously undiscovered textures to the masterworks. All
of which provides a rethinking, a reconsideration of Ireland's
great drama of the 1920s, as well as furthering the knowledge of
Shaw, O'Casey, and Connolly.
