"The Kiltartan History Book" was written as a historical masterpiece by Lady Gregory, an Irish playwright, folklorist, and literary icon. With an eye-catching new cover and a beautifully typeset copy, this version of THE KILTARTAN HISTORY BOOK is both modern and legible. The story is full of unexpected twists and turns that will keep the reader engaged. Some narratives are violent and strange, whereas others creep up on you and slowly bother you in. Readers are compelled to keep reading because the title character is so self-indulgent. Lady Gregory's work, noted for its painstaking research and enthralling storytelling, contributes significantly to Irish history and literature. The literary work sheds light on many aspects of Kiltartan's past, including its cultural legacy, social traditions, and historical events. Lady Gregory weaves a lovely tapestry of the region's past using her deep knowledge of Irish folklore and oral traditions.

Together for the first time, a trinity of classic plays by women. DULCITIUS, written in the late 10th century AD is by Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim. Hrotsvitha, a nun, is the first recorded playwright after the Greek and Roman eras. Her works are primarily religious in nature, DULCITIUS being no exception. It tells the story of three women, Irena, Chionia, and Agape who were martyred for their faith at the hands of the Emperor Diocletian. The religious overtones are paired with magic and slapstick comedy to create a truly unique theatrical experience. Lady Augusta Gregory was a prolific supplier of plays for Dublin's Abbey Theater in the beginning of the 20th century. THE RISING OF THE MOON is a philosophical look at a sergeant and ballad singer waiting on the steps of a river for an escaped convict. Still poignant, this story of the way police officers interact with those they are supposed to help and protect was met with rioting at its premiere. Gertrude Stein's EVERY AFTERNOON is representative of a number of her plays. Written in her stream-of-consciousness style, without character breaks or stage direction, Stein attempted to separate the dialogue from the visual of the stage to allow unlimited personal interpretations of the work. A lovely and experimental short play, EVERY AFTERNOON intentionally defies description.

A re-telling of the Irish saga. When first published, Gregory's version affected not only Yeats, but every important writer of the period. George Russell (AE) wrote: "I never expect to read a more beautiful book... Your story of Deirdre is extraordina
