J.M. Synge’s poem “Queens” was first published in 1909 and in 1917 Irish stained glass artist/illustrator Harry Clarke constructed nine stained glass panels illustrating the poem. In this beautifully illustrated collection, the two works and commentary by Nicola Gordon Bowe, the leading authority on Clarke’s work, have been combined for the first time.
