KlappentextThis book details the Irish socialistic tracks pursued by Bernard Shaw and Sean O´Casey, mostly after 1916, that were arguably impacted by the executed James Connolly. The historical context is carefully unearthed, stretching from its 1894 roots via W. B. Yeats´ dream of Shaw as a menacing, yet grinning sewing machine, to Shaw´s and O´Casey´s 1928 masterworks. In the process, Shaw´s War Issues for Irishmen, Annajanska, the Bolshevik Empress, The Tragedy of an Elderly Gentleman, Saint Joan, The Intelligent Woman´s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism, and O´Casey´s The Story of the Irish Citizen Army, The Shadow of a Gunman, Juno and the Paycock, The Plough and the Stars, and The Silver Tassie are reconsidered, revealing previously undiscovered textures to the masterworks. All of which provides a rethinking, a reconsideration of Ireland´s great drama of the 1920s, as well as furthering the knowledge of Shaw, O´Casey,and Connolly.
