Dublin in the Age of William Butler Yeats and James Joyce by Richard M Kain

Dublin has been the liveliest literary centre of the 20th century, producing William Butler Yeats, James Joyce and the playwright, John Millington Synge in addition to developing a native theatre (the Abbey theatre) known throughout the world. Dublin during the same time was the tragic battleground of the fight for independence from England and of the ensuing Civil War. The book contains background chapters on Irish politics and the cultural renaissance, an evaluation of the achievements of 20th-century Dublin, and critical comment on the writings of Yeats, Joyce and their contemporaries.
