- catalog abstract ""What role did the theatre of the Irish literary revival play in the politics of identity so avidly debated in pre-revolutionary Ireland? Conversely, how far did that dialogue influence the development of the theatre? Ben Levitas here pursues such vexed questions through a panoramic study of Irish drama and the nationalist debate 1890-1916. He follows the unfolding tension of that relationship and, in giving equal weight to the protagonists inside and outside the theatre movement, provides fresh insight into the dynamics of Irish cultural politics. Extending its range beyond the canonical works considered by most critics, and beyond Dublin to the influence of Cork and Ulster, The Theatre of Nation tackles many neglected and forgotten texts which through the circumstances of their reception are given new force." "Discussions and disputes both private and public are thus engaged to expose the implications of the theatre movement for nationalist ambitions. The lesser lights of the Irish revival illuminate unfamiliar aspects of writers such as W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, and J.M. Synge; while the evolution of Irish Ireland, The Gaelic League, and Sinn Fein is similarly reconsidered, disturbed by issues of class, gender, and generation. An integrated investigation of the politics of drama and its influence in Ireland, The Theatre of Nation concludes that Ireland's theatre had a pivotal role to play in the controversies of its time and in the coming revolution."--Jacket.".
