Title: T.C. Murray, dramatist
Description: "In exploring Murray's life and his stance as a Catholic dramatist in a literary scene that was predominately Protestant, DeGiacomo draws heavily on the playwright's voluminous correspondence with friends, family members, and the glitterati of Dublin literary circles. As an outsider, Murray's view of the Abbey Theatre provides new and illuminating perspective on a world ruled by members of the Protestant, Anglo-Irish Ascendancy that included W.B.

Yeats, Lady Gregory, Lennox Robinson, and, later, Ernest Blythe. Murray's association with the amateur dramatic societies of communities outside Dublin reveals yet another dimension of his commitment to Irish drama." "Drawing on the archives of libraries in Dublin, New York City, and Boston, this work of theater history spans Murray's life and career from 1873 to 1959 and highlights Murray's plays on Abbey tours of America from 1911 to 1935."--BOOK JACKET.
