Making Their Mark 17
Making Their Mark 17 A CELEBRATION OF GREAT WOMEN ARTISTS Susan Mary "Lily" Yeats, in a 1901 portrait by Photograph of Susan Mary "Lily" Yeats (left) and Elizabeth Corbet "Lolly" Yeats (right). Elizabeth Corbet "Lolly" Yeats, in an 1887 Jack Butler Yeats. National Gallery of Ireland. portrait by Jack Butler Yeats. Sisters Susan Mary "Lily" Yeats (1866-1949, above, left) and Elizabeth Corbet "Lolly" Yeats (1868-1940, above, right) were pivotal figures in the advancement of the Arts and Crafts style in Ireland. Founded in England by the British designer William Morris, the Arts and Crafts Movement advocated traditional, handcrafted objects as a rebellion against soulless factory-made furnishings. The Yeats sisters were from a preeminent Irish family--their father John and brother Jack were noted painters, and their other brother was the renowned poet William Butler Yeats. Born in Enniscrone, County Sligo, Ireland, Lily Yeats was a frequent visitor to William Morris when her family moved to London in the 1870s; she would learn embroidery from his daughter, May Morris. Younger sister Lolly Yeats, also in the Morris circle, was more interested in painting and printing; by the end of the century she had written and illustrated four instructional books on sketching directly with a brush. Upon returning to Ireland, both sisters would co-found the Dun Emer Guild, a Arts and Crafts group in Dublin managed and staffed entirely by women, with the textile designer Evelyn Gleeson (1855-1944). Guilds, as opposed to factories, were a return to the Medieval and Renaissance guilds that once served as the primary centers of art production. -

Bowen A Thesis Submitted to the Department of History California State University Bakersfield In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History May 2015 Copyright By Melissa S. Bowen 2015 Acknowledgments I am incredibly grateful for the encouragement and support of Cal State Bakersfield’s History Department faculty, who as a group worked closely with me in preparing me for this fruitful endeavor. I am most grateful to my advisor, Cliona Murphy, whose positive enthusiasm, never- ending generosity, and infinite wisdom on Irish History made this project worthwhile and enjoyable. I would not have been able to put as much primary research into this project as I did without the generous scholarship awarded to me by Cal State Bakersfield’s GRASP office, which allowed me to travel to Ireland and study Beatrice Elvery’s work first hand. I am also grateful to the scholars and professionals who helped me with my research such as Dr. Stephanie Rains, Dr. Nicola Gordon Bowe, and Rector John Tanner. Lastly, my research would not nearly have been as extensive if it were not for my hosts while in Ireland, Brian Murphy, Miriam O’Brien, and Angela Lawlor, who all welcomed me into their homes, filled me with delicious Irish food, and guided me throughout the country during my entire trip.

Romantic Elements in Yeats's Poetry
Romantic Elements in Yeats’s Poetry The different attempts that has been made to define romanticism have only added to the confusion that has prevailed about the concept of romanticism. However, there is a broad agreement on a common factor that a romantic writer is dissatisfied with the contemporary values of life and escapes into the golden past or the ideal future. He moves into a fantasy world having the values of life cherished by him. Yeats, on this basis, clearly turns out to be a romantic poet. His dissatisfaction with the modern industrial society and the colonial rule over his country drove him to theme of love and beauty, love of folk - lore, simplicity of life away from the complex modern industrial life and a love of music and vague epithets and phrases. His cyclical view of history had convinced him of the impending violence and anarchy and he sought shelter in courtesy, innocence and ceremony and away from intellection. Like most of the romantics, he is concerned with the problem of life art and death. Like them again, he frequently writes about himself in his poetry. Yeats is connected with the last generation of the romantic poets, the members of the Rhymer's Club and poets and painters of the pre-Raphaelite School. His early writings in particular are coloured by this association. His youthful imagination was nourished on the poetry of Shelley. In his day- dreaming he was apt to pose as Manfred, Prince Athanese and Alastor. The early poetry of Yeats has all the characteristics flavour and limitations of the typical romantic verse. -

This unit on William Butler Yeats, the writer, and Jack Yeats, the painter, seeks to immerse students in a study of the brothers as voices of Ireland and as two of the most renowned artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The unit is dedicated also to helping students see how the outlook of an age controls cultural expression, and how this expression is articulated in similar ways throughout genres of art. To help effect these major goals, focus in the unit is placed on: the impact of geography, place, and family on both William Butler Yeats and Jack Yeats; the influence of personalities of the time period on the two artists;. -

B. Yeats's poetry) Mushtaq Ahmed KadhimAldewan (Department of Science, College of Basic Education / University of Sumer , Country :Iraq ) Corresponding author: Mushtaq Ahmed KadhimAldewan Abstract: This Research primarily focuses on the Romantic Elements for Modernist poet and critic William Butler Yeats‘s poems in order to demonstrate Romanticism‘s contribution to the so called modernist movement in terms of idealism. It begins with a demonstration of Yeats as a representative of Romanticism and the explanation of the crucial Romantic traits. The Romantic features concentrates imagination, emotion, nature and beauty. Then it continues with a revelation of as a Modernist poet who has romantic roots and When we a romantic and modernist . further, it maintains Yeats as a Romantic Modernist as an example to Yeats‘s shinning star among romantic poets. Finally. They have a number of similarities that constitute their basic principles. This research aims to depict that the artists are influenced by the social, political, cultural and economic developments that occur in their time and shape their artistic visions according to their thoughts about the crisis. William Butler Yeats reflects his reaction to his current social problems by protesting the established order and mostly create substitutes for reality which are idealized human beings in order to avoid the effect of time and mortal limitations. In addition to this, he tries to reflect an romantic world to be more active and creative soul, which he cannot achieve to have in the material realm. -

'Now That My Ladder's Gone'
Sébastien SCARPA ‘Now that my ladder’s gone’: from Romanticism to Verism in Yeat’s Poetry ‘Now that my ladder’s gone’: From Romanticism to Verism in Yeats’s Poetry Sébastien Scarpa Université Stendhal-Grenoble 3 Man can embody truth but he cannot know it. W. B. Yeats At the beginning of his literary career, W. B. Yeats was clearly a self-conscious Romantic poet. A spiritual member of this “Church of Rebels” which included Blake as well as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats or Shelley, he certainly fancied himself as one of the new “unacknowledged legislators of the world” contributing to the age-old Poem of idealism. Like his precursors, he rejected the threats of modernity by glorifying, not reason or scientific explanation, but the natural world and the forces of imagination. In many respects, his affinity for Nature – and for the power he sensed behind Nature’s visible forms – seems to have been generated by his never-ending quest for a lost harmony. For the history of Romanticism is, emphatically, the history of a separation, the history of a splitting apart that alienated man (the subjective “I”) from the real object of his desire (the unattainable “Other”). In other words, at the heart of Romanticism lies the lingering mood of longing for something more complete than the modern world, and the Romantic poem, though a mere fabric of words, represents an attempt at recreating a link with the Beyond, that is, with Truth itself (be it a divinity, a female figure, or an idealized way of life in an idealized countryside) so as to achieve a form of Unity. -
