This study examines the early dramatic works of Yeats, Synge, and
Gregory in the context of late colonial Ireland's unique
socio-political landscape. By contextualizing each author's work
within the artistic and political discourses of their time, Cusack
demonstrates the complex negotiation of nationalism, class, and
gender identities undertaken by these three authors in the years
leading up to Ireland's revolution against England. Furthermore, by
focusing on plays written by each author in the context of the
ongoing debates over Irish national identity that were taking place
throughout Irish public life in this period, Cusack examines in
more depth than previous studies the ways Yeats, Gregory, and Synge
adapted conventional dramatic and linguistic forms to accommodate
the conflicting claims of Irish nationalism. In so doing, he
demonstrates the contribution these authors made not only to the
development of Irish nationalism but also to modern and
postcolonial literature as we understand them today.
