Minstrels and Moderns
View through CrossRef
Abstract
During the Yeats–Farr engagement with the Imagists, Yeats became increasingly caught up in theatre business and saw the Abbey Theatre weather some momentous events—the death of Synge, the fight with Dublin Castle over censorship, the withdrawal and arbitration of Annie Horniman’s subsidy, and the necessity of securing a new Patent. By the end of 1910, as these distracting events approached resolution, Yeats had become fascinated with Gordon Craig’s new system of screens and lighting, proclaiming the importance of the new decorative effects to the press before he employed them in productions of The Hour Glass and Lady Gregory’s The Deliverer on January 12, 1911.
