  • For the Harmony of the Race, Each Individual Should Be
    http://www.englishworld2011.info/ WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS / 2019 For the harmony of the race, each individual should be the expression of an easy & ample interpenetration of the male & female temperaments—free of stress Woman must become more responsible for the child than man— Women must destroy in themselves, the desire to be loved— The feeling that it is a personal insult when a man transfers his attentions from her to another woman The desire for comfortable protection instead of an intelligent curiosity & courage in meeting & resisting the pressure of life sex or so called love must be reduced to its initial element, honour, grief, sentimentality, pride & consequently jealousy must be detached from it. Woman for her happiness must retain her deceptive fragility of appearance, combined with indomitable will, irreducible courage, & abundant health the outcome of sound nerves— Another great illusion that woman must use all her introspective clear-sightedness & unbiassed bravery to destroy—for the sake of her self respect is the impurity of sex the realisation in defiance of superstition that there is nothing impure in sex—except in the mental attitude to it—will constitute an incalculable & wider social regeneration than it is possible for our generation to imagine. 1914 1982 WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS 1865-1939 William Butler Yeats was born to an Anglo-Irish family in Dublin. His father, J. B. Yeats, had abandoned law to take up painting, at which he made a somewhat precar- ious living. His mother came from the Pollexfen family that lived near Sligo, in the west of Ireland, where Yeats spent much of his childhood.

    Activities by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in support of Yeats 2015 Introduction 2015 marked the 150th anniversary of the birth of WB Yeats, the Nobel Prize-winning poet. A Yeats 2015 steering committee oversaw the presentation of an impressive programme of events to celebrate Yeats’ life and legacy. While most events took place in Ireland, a great number of events also took place overseas and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade was very pleased to provide its support to the delivery of an engaging programme in a diverse range of locations. The Department, through the Embassy network, worked closely with the Yeats 2015 steering committee and with overseas partners, to organise or support over 100 international events and activities that celebrated the range and depth of Yeats’ work and brought Yeats’ legacy to the attention of audiences new and old across the globe. Among the events that took place were recitals and musical performances, exhibitions, lectures, international academic conferences and symposia, the publication of new translations of Yeats’ poetry, and prominent poetry displays on the London and Shanghai underground transport networks, in each case lasting for a period of many weeks. The Department’s travelling exhibition “The Life and Works of WB Yeats”, based on an exhibition curated by the National Library of Ireland, also proved particularly popular throughout 2015, as the 11 separate language versions were exhibited in five continents throughout the year. The programme culminated in December’s worldwide recitation of ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree’, in which Minister Flanagan also participated. The programme of events attracted extensive coverage in overseas media over the course of the year, reinforced through interviews with visiting Irish Ministers and local Ambassadors.

  • Cultural Revival and Political Rebellion in Ireland An
    A Terrible Beauty: Cultural Revival and Political Rebellion in Ireland An MLA Pro-seminar (LIT 200) Charles Junkerman Stanford Continuing Studies In the last decades of the 19th century, Ireland experienced a dramatic cultural renaissance, that saw the revival of the Gaelic language, the reinvention of Irish sports, the establishment of a national theater, the recovery of thousands of folksong and tales, and the emergence of some of the greatest poets and playwrights of modern times. Alongside this cultural activity, political associations like the Irish Republican Brotherhood and Sinn Fein gained momentum. Together, they gave definition to Ireland’s smoldering opposition to British colonialism that culminated in the Easter Rising of 1916, followed by the War of Independence and the Irish Civil War that ended only in 1923. In this seminar, we will read the work of poets and playwrights of the “Irish Renaissance” and study the historical events that made the names of political actors as celebrated in Irish memory as the poets. We will also find time to watch Neil Jordan’s great film, Michael Collins. Syllabus (tentative): Week 1: Introduction and Overview Kiberd, pp. 1-32 Kee, as much of pp. 1-151 as you can manage Week 2: The Celtic Revival, Lady Gregory, and Early Yeats Lady Gregory, “Cathleen Ni Houlihan” in Harrington Lady Gregory, “Our Irish Theatre” in Harrington, 377-386 Critical Essays in Harrington, 398-423 and 433-446 Yeats: Early Poems “The Stolen Child,” “Down by the Salley Gardens, ” “To the Rose Upon the Rood of Time,” “Fergus and the Druid,” “The Rose of the World,” “The Lake Isle of Innisfree,” "Who Goes with Fergus?" “To Ireland in the Coming Times,” “The Hosting of the Sidhe,” “The Song of Wandering Aengus” Kiberd, 136-165 2 Week 3: Oscar Wilde Wilde, “The Importance of Being Earnest” Camille Paglia, “Oscar Wilde and the English Epicene” pp.
