520 _a"Irish Plays and Playwrights" by Cornelius Weygandt is a historical account focused on the Celtic Renaissance written in the early 20th century. The book explores the revival of Irish literature and drama during a period of cultural resurgence, detailing influential playwrights and their contributions to the movement, including notable figures like W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory. The work delves into how Irish folklore and legend were harnessed in the creation of new plays, offering insights on the significance of the Abbey Theatre and its pioneering role in shaping modern Irish drama. The opening of the book establishes the context of the Celtic Renaissance, emphasizing its initially unrecognized significance even among Irish writers. It recounts the early skepticism regarding the potential influence of literature in Ireland, contrasted with the emergence of critical voices that fostered a national identity through storytelling. Prominent figures like Yeats and Dr. Hyde are highlighted for their roles in reviving Irish culture and language. Weygandt outlines the blend of native and foreign influences in the development of the contemporary Irish theatre, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the subject in the chapters that follow.
