Autograph manuscript of Hyacinth Halvey
Subject
Sixty-five-page autograph manuscript of Lady Gregory’s play translated into Gaelic
Description
One of Lady Gregory’s most popular comedies, Hyacinth Halvey concerns a young man trying to ruin his own reputation to avoid respectability. This manuscript in Gaelic is bound in homemade wrappers with a hand-drawn title. It is likely a fair copy of the first Irish-language translation of the play, ascribed to Micheal O Droigheain and published in 1934, two years after Lady Gregory’s death.
