Description based on print version record. Histories of the Abbey Theatre have repeated W.B. Yeats's assertion that there was no censorship of theatre in Ireland. This book utilizes source material to prove that censorship did occur and that Yeats was willing to sacrifice artistic freedom when he saw the chance to ensure the longevity of the Abbey Theatre and his legacy.
