They trod the boards when to do so was not entirely respectable, yet how they portrayed Irish womanhood closely reflected the perception of the Irish about themselves as they swept from the Catholic Emancipation to the very real idea of becoming a free state. Ritschel (humanities, Massachusetts Maritime Academy) takes a nationalist and socialist reading of Irish theater, focusing on the images crafted by Yeats, Gonne, Synge, Fay, Nic Shiubhlaigh, the Allgoods and O'Casey. He works from the times when a new image of Irishness was wresting itself from a archetype of victim and into the concept of national resilience and self-determination, with the latter authors helping to form the representation Ireland consciously wished to present of itself as complex, historically in touch, literate, transcendent, tough yet tender.
