Fecha de emisión: Oct 31, 2016

If one person is at the heart of the Irish Revival, it is the great poet W. B. Yeats. In this first lecture about the bard, Professor Conner introduces you to the man and his quest for meaning in the two worlds of the Irish countryside and the English city. You’ll then consider Yeats’s connection to revolutionary leaders of the time.
