Where There is Nothing: Being Plays for an Irish Theatre - Volume I. Synopsis

The first volume of "e;Plays for an Irish Theatre"e; contains W. B. Yeats' play in five acts "e;Where There is Nothing"e;. This marvellous play will appeal to all lovers of the English language, and especially those with an interest in the work of Yeats' and Irish literature in general. William Butler Yeats (13 June 1865 - 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet and one of the most prolific literary figures of the 20th-century. At the forefront of both the British and Irish literary movements, he co-founded the Abbey Theatre and was, along with Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn and others, a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival. In his later life, Yeats also served as a Senator in Ireland. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
