First U.K. edition. *Without the friendship, support, inspiration - even collaboration - of this remarkable woman, Yeats's career might have taken a very different path. Without her energy and vision the Abbey Theatre might never have existed. Without her many plays it could hardly have survived. J. M. Synge and Sean O'Casey were cared for and encouraged by her ...
