Does anyone know where I could find complete versions of the following Yeats'
plays.... "Purgatory", "The dreaming of the bones" and "At the hawk's
well"??? Possibly with their interpretations??? PLEASE??

      I can provide you with some of them or at least give you a hint concerning the book titled "WB Yeates - The Dramas" or
      somewhat similar. I bought it a couple of years ago so if you want I'll give the editor and all the titbits. It's in Polish
      though :(

          Ok then, I need to look it up at home so I'll let you know about it tomorrow. There are some intepretations included as
          far as I remeber but not too many and they're not that profound as one would expect them to be. But still, it is a decent
          starting point. I know how difficult it was for me to find anything "play-like" from Yeates at the time I needed it :) Are
          you writing sort of an essay about symbolic literature or are you just a fan of good old William Butler ?

          Hi there,
          I have the info about that book I mentioned yesterday. Since I'm in Germany for good, it is a bit difficult to lend that
          book
          to you. What I can dofirst is I can give you all the information you need to find it. In case you don't manage it, we start
          to think about other avenues to solve the problem :)

          W.B.Y. "Dramaty", Swiat Literacki (their address - sk. poczt 67, 05-080 Izabelin), Warszawa, 1994, Intro - prof.
          Wanda Rutkiewicz (Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw), Editor - Tomasz Brzozowski.
          You'll find 9 plays in there - Cathleen ni Houlihan, On Baile's Strand, Deidre, At the Hawk's Well, The Resurrection, A
          Full Moon in March, The Herne's Egg, Purgatory, The Death of Cuchulain.

          Rgds

            At first-it was just a homework...and a shock. I must admit I have never read
            such a thing before, I mean - in high school I thought Wyspiański was a
            nightmare but... Anyway, now as I read Yeats over and aver again I really
            started to find it fascinating. Well, tomorrow I'm going to a library..

              Enjoy it then as much as I do for quite some time now :) It's something like 6 yrs from now when I bought
              this book. Anyhow, I'm pretty sure that you find the English versions on-line on some of mailing lists of
              truly English origin or somewhere on the web. But still, if you don't find a paper version in either language
              and you'll still be pining for it I can make a photocopy and send it to you. Given, that there is virtually no
              place you can get it from :)

              Read some of his poems. I highly recommend : Easter 1916 and The Second
              Coming. You mentioned Purgatory so try to find a collection of Yeats' essays
              entitled On the Bolier. Purgatory should be connected with the On the Boiler as
              it takes up some arguments (mentioned in On the Boiler) and presents them in
              poetic form.
