Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. EDWARD MARTYN AND THE IRISH THEATRE BY SISTER MARIE-THERESE COURTNEY. THESIS SUBMITTEDTO UNIVERSITY OF FRIBOURG SWITZERLAND AS PART OF Ph.D. 1ST EDITION HARDBACK WITH DUSTJACKET. DJ HAS SOME TEARS AND WEAR AND SOME FADING. 188 PAGES. Edward Martyn (30 January 1859 5 December 1923) was an Irish playwright and early republican political and cultural activist, as the first president of Sinn Féin from 1905 to 1908. Martyn was reportedly pivotal in introducing William Butler Yeats and Lady Gregory to each other in 1896. The three founded the Irish Literary Theatre, for whom Martyn wrote his best and most popular plays The Heather Field and A Tale of a Town. He covered the costs of the company's first three seasons, which proved crucial to establishing the company and the future of the Abbey Theatre. He later parted ways with Yeats and Gregory, something he later regretted, but remained on warm terms with Lady Gregory till the end of his life. He came out as an Irish republican when he famously refused to allow "God Save The Queen" to be sung after a dinner party at Tullira. By this stage he was involved with the political work of Maude Gonne and Arthur Griffith, and was a vocal opponent of the visit of Queen Victoria to Ireland in 1897. He also protested the visit by Edward VII in 1903, this time as chairman of the People's Protection Committee. He was the first president of Sinn Féin from 1905 to 1908 (the party only taking that name in the latter year). In 1908 he resigned from the party and politics in general to concentrate on writing and his other activities. He became close friends with Griffith, funding the publication of the latter's The Resurrection of Hungary in 1904.
