Professor Worth traces in particular the influence of Maeterlinck, examining his 'static drama' in some detail. A dominant theme is the importance of total theatre techniques to the playwrights of the interior from Wilde in \u003ci\u003eSalomé\u003c\/i\u003e to O'Casey in plays like \u003ci\u003eCock-a-Doodle Dandy\u003c\/i\u003e. Yeats is seen as the great pioneer, assimilating inspiration from the French, with Arthur Symons as guide, from Synge, from Gordon Craig and from the No drama, and evolving a modern technique for a drama of complex self-consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45087250808983,"sku":"9781472509697","price":15234.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472509697.webp?v=1767143049","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-irish-drama-of-europe-from-yeats-to-beckett-9781472509697","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
