Note: Missing title page. === Some critics appreciate the early plays of W.B. Yeats for their lyric beauties and ignore or deprecate the later, more dramatic works because in them dramatic values have replaced the lyric element to a large extent. Others suggest that the plays are not dramatic enough. T. R. Henn, for instance, is of the opinion that the last plays must be considered as dramatic poems. The general tendency has been to ignore Yeats as a dramatist while extolling his genius as a poet.
