Grania: An Irish Tragedy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169224377)

Grania: An Irish Tragedy is a play written by Lady Gregory, an Irish playwright and folklorist. The play is set in Ireland during the 16th century and tells the story of Grania, a powerful and independent woman who defies the norms of her time. Grania is the daughter of the powerful chieftain Cormac O'Malley and is betrothed to the English nobleman Sir John of Desmond. However, Grania falls in love with Diarmuid, a warrior from a rival clan, and elopes with him. This sets off a chain of events that leads to a tragic end for all involved. The play explores themes of love, loyalty, betrayal, and the clash of cultures between the Irish and English. Lady Gregory's use of language and her deep understanding of Irish folklore and mythology make Grania: An Irish Tragedy a powerful and compelling work of literature.THIS 74 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Irish Folk History Plays, by Lady Gregory .
