Elizabeth Brewer Redwine. Gender, Performance, and Authorship at the Abbey Theatre

Abstract

Elizabeth Brewer Redwine’s Gender, Performance, and Authorship at the Abbey Theatre turns to female actors, exposing and analysing their influence on texts and performances associated with Ireland’s Abbey Theatre and its architects. It recovers the neglected history of these women’s contributions to plays attributed solely to W.B. Yeats and J.M. Synge.
