Description

Yeats used his 1923 Nobel speech, printed here by the Cuala Press, not to talk of his poetry or the recently concluded violence in Ireland but mainly to speak of the work of the Irish dramatic movement; especially notable was his statement that Lady Gregory and J. M. Synge should have been with him on the stage.
