 | Sean O'Casey:Autobiographies by Arthur Miller, Seamus Heaney, Sean O'Casey
The first production in 1926 of The Plough and the Stars at Dublin`s Abbey Theatre met with rioting in the streets, as a result of the play`s (wrongly) alleged anti-Irish sentiment. Still, it remains one of the great classics not only of Irish drama but of the twentieth century. The Shadow of a Gunman was O`Casey`s first play and established his relationship with the Abbey Theatre, a centerpiece of the Irish Renaissance. The Silver Tassie, Purple Dust and Hall of Healing are from among his later works. AUTHOR: Arthur Miller, Seamus Heaney, Sean O'Casey

The original beauty of the sound may be lost, but at least the thoughts and the ideas are saved, something which is scarcely true even of such illustrious translations as those of Emerson or Wordsworth.' -The New York Times Book Review AUTHOR: Creighton E.
