Chapter XXIV: Book II: from his Drake: An English Epic (Stokes)

Text size

The Drama.--From Jones, read _The Manoeuvers of Jane, Mrs. Dane's Defence_ (Samuel French); from Pinero, _The Amazons, The School Mistress_, or _Sweet Lavender_ (W.H. Baker); from Shaw's _Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant_ (Brentano), _Candida, You Never Can Tell, Arms and the Man_ from Barrie, _Peter Pan, What Every Woman Knows_; from Galsworthy, _Strife, Joy, The Little Dream_; from Phillips, _Marpessa_ (poem), _Ulysses_ (Macmillan), _Herod_; from Lady Gregory's, _Seven Short Plays_ (Putnam), _The Gaol Gate, Spreading the News_; from her _New Comedies_ (Putnam, 1913), _McDonough's Wife, The Bogie Men_; from Yeats's _Poetical Works_, Vol. II. (Macmillan), _The Land of Heart's Desire, Countess Cathleen_; from Synge, _Riders to the Sea, The Playboy of the Western World, Deirdre of the Sorrows_ (John W. Luce).

Questions and Suggestions.--Stevenson's _The Home Book of Verse_ and _The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse_ contain selections from a number of the poets. McCarthy's _Irish Literature_, 10 vols., gives selections from work written prior to 1904. The majority of the indicated readings can be found only in the original works of the authors.

Give an outline of the most important thoughts from one essay and one biography, by both Benson and Chesterton.

What distinctive subject matter do you find in each of the novelists? How do same reflect the spirit of the age?

What are the chief characteristics of each of the poets? What does the phrase "Celtic Renaissance" signify?

In brief, what had the drama accomplished from the time of the closing of the theaters in 1642 to 1890? What distinctive contributions to the modern drama have Pinero, Shaw, and Barrie made? Describe the work of Lady Gregory, Yeats, and Synge. In what does Synge's special power consist?
