The Collected Letters of John Millington Synge: 1907-1909, Vol. 2 Book

Interesting. Would she be remembered if not for Yeats' obsession? Probably not, unless you were an historian interested in her role in the Irish Independence movement. For anyone interested in Yeats the book is probably compulsory reading. But her letters reveal a strong willed woman, committed to her beliefs, ready to act on them and so much more than the comic caricature, Maud Gone Mad. My only criticism of this edition, which not only has the editor's introduction but an essay by her granddaughter, and narrative paragraphs which put the letters into context, is that the index has a list of illustrations and the book has no illustrations.
