World Poets - W B Yeats
Yeats sang in the name of an ancient Ireland. His passionate study of mysticism and the supernatural fired his active involvement in a movement for the revival of Celtic identity, a poetic currency of fairies, dreams and the melancholy of decay. He cherished folk-tales, celebrating them as vitally in his verse as the history of his own times. But where did Yeats’ s voice, and his extraordinary lyrical gift, come from? Born in Dublin in 1865, he would become one of the two greatest poets of the twentieth century writing in English.
W B Yeats is the ninth in the 2020 series of ten lectures specially recorded by Graham during the lockdown for release online to bookers. Recordings of all ten are now available.
