The grandfather of all Irish memoirs, this astonishing work consists of six of Yeats's autobiographical essays -- "Reveries Over Childhood and Youth", "The Trembling of the Veil", "Dramatis Personae", "Estrangement", "The Death of Synge", and "The Bounty of Sweden". These works form a vivid account of the first 58 years of Yeats's life, from childhood to his winning of the Nobel Prize for literature.
Expand description
Yeats was the center of Ireland's cultural universe, and Autobiographies contains insightful descriptions of a dazzling assortment of characters, among them Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, Madame Blavatsky, Lady Gregory, and John Synge. The book also describes Yeats's involvement with Irish nationalism and his fascination with occultism and visions. Offering Yeats's own account of the growth of his poetic imagination and the connections he saw between the life he led and the works he wrote, it remains the one essential companion to his poems and plays.
