Lady Gregory

Author of "New Comedies," "Our Irish Theatre," etc. 12º. $1.50

The plays in this volume are the following: Spreading the News, Hyacinth Halvey, The Rising of the Moon, The Jackdaw, The Workhouse Ward, The Travelling Man, The Gaol Gate, The volume also contains music for the songs in the plays and notes explaining the conception of the plays.

Among the three great exponents of the modern Celtic movement in Ireland, Lady Gregory holds an unusual place. It is she from whom came the chief historical impulse which resulted in the recreation for the present generation of the elemental poetry of early Ireland, its wild disorders, its loves and hates—all the passionate light and shadow of that fierce and splendid race.
