Description

This book presents the complete texts of four ideologically complex and theatrically effective Irish melodramas produced at the Queen's Theatre in Dublin during the late 19th and 20th centuries. This edition, complete with period illustrations of playbills, pictorial ads, and protraits, includes a detailed critical introduction that weaves the separate narratives of the plays into a sustained story of Irish sociopolitical life in the revolutionary 1790s. All four plays focus on the '98 Rising. J.W.Whitbread's "Lord Edward, Or '98" (1894) and "Wolfe Tone" (1898) dramatize the consequences of heroism from the aristocratic and United Irish point of view, while P.J.Bourke's "When Wexford Rose" (1910) and "For the Land She Loved" (1915) engage resistance from working class and feminist-nationalist perspectives. These plays, shown constantly in Irish cities and small towns, as well as overseas were to become part of the social dialogue that produced another rising in 1916 and beyond.
