Summary: "Robert Hogan enters well armed with scholarship and wit into the embattled field of O'Casey criticism. His readable, vigorous and entertaining critique brings to the subject of the well-known and lesser-known O'Casey plays, fresh, distinguished and completely original observations. Mr Hogan clearly states his case for the controversial playwright in refutation of those few who contend that O'Casey is a formative, primitive, lucky enough to have written two masterpieces twenty-five years ago. He shows that the later O'Casey plays are as vital and original a contribution to modern dramas as his early works." -- book jacket
