Books by Anthony Roche

A Critical Companion to the four principle playwrights associated with the Irish Dramatic Revival - W. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge, Augusta Lady Gregory and Sean O'Casey - and to the birth of the Irish national theatre, the Abbey. Anthony Roche provides a reappraisal of the theatre movement led by Yeats and the work of the main practitioners.

A revised and updated version of this pioneering study covers the extraordinary revival of Irish drama in the second half of the twentieth century.
