Plot.
The ancient story of the ill-fated Deirdre and the Sons of Usnach. Building on the many earlier literary retellings of the story, W. B. Yeats deliberately frames his 1906 play as an extension of the legend, writing a new death-tale for Deirdre that is also a personal statement about love, death, and the making of art. Goodreads
