It examines the Irish Dramatic Movement and the plays of O'Casey and Synge , with reference to the relationship of theatre and nationalism . When we recollect what the state of novel literature in those days was , and that the only exceptions to its mediocrity , the Irish Tales of Miss Edgeworth , however appreciated in refined circles , had a circulation so limited that she had never realized a tithe of 700 by the best of them - - - it must be allowed that Constable 's offier was a liberal one . But having nursed civilization through its illness , it is too bad the Irish sent it on its way . Some of the latter did run away , but not so fast as James himself , who fled taking the ablest of the Irish generals , Sarsfield , with him . There was a memorable picture of Donncha in his underpants which appeared in the Irish papers after a Munster match recently and I sent him a text after the game and I think he got a few more about that issue .
