| Publisher Description: William Butler Yeats (1865 -1939), Ahmad Shawqi (1868-1932) and Paul Claudel (1868- 1955) were renowned and greatest poets in their respective countries in the twentieth century, yet the three poets had an increasing interest in drama which urged them to play writing for the purpose of writing their nations. The three writers appeared in the early twentieth century at the time of the First World War and its repercussions on the world. The aim of the thesis is to explore the similarities and differences in the plays of the three dramatists as each one of them has shown a great zeal in defending his country and in revealing a great sense of patriotism in his plays. Themes and techniques of relevant plays are therefore explored and analysed. |
