First published in 1970, this book is a faithful representation of
the original edition of Beltaine a literary magazine edited by W.
B. Yeats from May 1899 to April 1900. Beltaine was the first of
several magazines of the Irish Literary Theatre (later to become
The Abbey Theatre) in which Yeats's editorial role was of utmost
importance. It was an occasional publication and focused on
promoting current works of Irish playwrights whilst challenging
those of their English opponents. The magazine mainly consists of a
series of essays on the theatre in Dublin, and supplementing these
are explanations and discussions of new plays, excerpts from which
are often included. This book will be of interest to those with an
interest in Yeats, early nineteenth-century literature, and Irish
theatre.
