Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Two powerful verse dramas by William Butler Yeats, 'The King's Threshold' and 'On Baile's Strand,' explore themes of power, sacrifice, and the weight of destiny within the rich tapestry of Irish mythology and legend. 'The King's Threshold' presents a compelling conflict between a poet and a king, delving into the importance of artistic expression and the consequences of its suppression. 'On Baile's Strand' unfolds a tragic tale of loyalty and misunderstanding, set against the backdrop of ancient Ireland. Yeats, a master of Irish literature, weaves captivating narratives steeped in the cultural heritage of Ireland. These dramas offer readers a glimpse into a world where heroes and gods walk among mortals, and where fate is an inescapable force.

Hardcover. First Edition. Original green linen-backed gray paper boards with paper spine label. Wade 56. Published in March 1904. This copy INSCRIBED by Stephen Gwynn on the front endpaper: "To MD/for her [his?] birthday/Mar 1904." An educated guess is that MD might stand for the actress Miss Darragh [Florence Laetitia (Dallas) Darragh), an established figure on the London stage who appeared in the Dublin 1906 production of Yeats's plays DEIRDRE and THE SHADOWY WATERS. A more likely possibility is Michael Davitt, the Irish Nationalist, whose birthday was on the 25th of March and who died in 1906. Stephen Gwynn, author and Irish nationalist, was a champion for Yeats. According to the DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY, "In spite of his book IRISH LITERATURE AND DRAMA (1936) and some early association with the Irish Players in London, Gwynn himself had little to do with drama, and stood apart from the fame and influence of the Abbey Theatre." Perhaps the most likely possibility is the illustrator and playwright Mabel Dearmer, a very close friend of Gwynn's who died while serving as a nurse in World War I. Gwynn wrote a memoir of her in Dearmer's posthumously published LETTERS FROM A FIELD HOSPITAL. An altogether Very Good and intriguing copy.…
