Harper thoroughly analyses this script, touching on a number of related topics including feminist issues of collaborative authorship. - ;Georgie Hyde Lees, who married W.B. Yeats in the autumn of 1917, has for many years occupied a secondary or even marginal position in most studies of her famous husband. She has been depicted as a poor choice for romantic partner, political comrade
