Deirdre is a play written by the renowned Irish poet and playwright, William Butler Yeats. The play is based on an ancient Irish myth about a woman named Deirdre who is said to have been the most beautiful woman in Ireland. The story tells of how Deirdre was forced to marry a king named Conchobar, but she fell in love with a warrior named Naoise. Deirdre and Naoise fled to Scotland to avoid Conchobar's wrath, but they were eventually betrayed and killed. Yeats' play explores themes of love, betrayal, and fate. The characters are complex and well-developed, with Deirdre being portrayed as a tragic heroine who is torn between her love for Naoise and her duty to her people. The play is written in verse, with Yeats' signature lyrical style and use of symbolism. Deirdre was first performed in 1907 and is considered one of Yeats' most significant works. The play has been adapted numerous times for stage and screen, and it continues to be a popular and influential piece of Irish literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
