About This Item
London: A. H. Bullen, 1907. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 8" by 5.5". None. A smart copy of this ancient story told as a play by Irish poet, dramatist and writer, William Butler Yeats. Being volume five of Plays for an Irish Theatre. The tale of Deirdre and the Sons of Usnach, following Deirdre, the imaginative and otherworldly young heroine, and King Conchubar, the faithless and selfish monarch. Yeats explores this important story from Irish literature, with themes of love, honor, deceit and self-sacrifice. Written by William Butler Yeats, an Irish poet, dramatist and writer, considered one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature and a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival. In the original quarter green cloth with paper covered boards. Externally, smart with light shelf wear and fading to the spine. The odd mark to the board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd spot. Very Good Indeed
