The Countess Cathleen
''The Countess Cathleen'' is a verse drama by William Butler Yeats in blank verse (with some lyrics). It was dedicated to Maud Gonne, the object of his affections for many years.
==Editions and revisions==
The play was first published in 1892 in ''The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics'' (the spelling was changed to "Cathleen" in all future editions).〔Jeffares, ''W. B. Yeats, man and poet'', p. (283 )〕 Its text underwent many changes until the final version performed in 1911 and published in 1912 ("a complete revision to make it suitable for performance at the Abbey Theatre" and "all but a new play," according to Yeats). The variorum editor, Russell K. Alspach, remarks, "The revision for the second printing, ''Poems'' (1895), was so drastic that intelligible collation was virtually impossible."〔''The variorum edition of the plays of W.B. Yeats'', New York: Macmillan, p. xii〕 The tendency of Yeats's changes between 1892 and 1911 has been summarized as a move "decidedly away from an almost farcical realism and tentatively toward the austere, suggestive mode of the dance plays."〔David Richman, ''Passionate action: Yeats's mastery of drama'', Cranbury, N.J.: Associated University Presses, p. (164 ); Richman considers the 1892 play the "cluttered" work of "an apprentice dramatist...groping toward assurance as a stage symbolist."〕
