==Operations== It was intended that the new press would produce work by writers associated with the [[Irish Literary Revival]]. They ended up publishing over 70 titles in total, including 48 by W. B. Yeats. The press closed in 1946. The Cuala was unusual in that it was the only [[Arts and Crafts movement|Arts and Crafts]] press to be run and staffed by women and the only one that published new work rather than established classics. In addition to Yeats, Cuala published works by [[Ezra Pound]], [[Jack B. Yeats]], [[Padraic Colum]], [[Robin Flower]], [[Elizabeth Bowen]], [[Oliver St John Gogarty]], [[Lady Gregory]], [[Douglas Hyde]], [[Lionel Johnson]], [[Patrick Kavanagh]], [[Louis MacNeice]], [[John Masefield]], [[Frank O'Connor]], [[John Millington Synge]], [[John Butler Yeats]], [[Rabindranath Tagore]] and others. After Elizabeth Yeats died in 1940, the work of the press was carried on by two of her long-time assistants, [[Esther Ryan]] and [[Máire Gill|Mollie Gill]] under the management of [[Georgie Hyde-Lees]].<ref>A Brief Account of the Cuala Press Formerly the Dun Emer Press Founded by Elizabeth Corbet Yeats in MCMIII (1971)</ref> The final Cuala title was ''Stranger in Aran'' by [[Elizabeth Rivers]], which was published on 31 July 1946. In 1969 the press was taken up by W. B. Yeats' children, [[Michael Yeats|Michael]] and [[Anne Yeats]], with Liam Miller. Some titles were run in the 1970s, and archives are still held by the press.
