Welcome
The Yeats Society of Ireland, Sligo, welcomes all to the 54th Annual Yeats International Summer School, the Gathering, 28th July–9th August 2013.
Professor Margaret Mills Harper (University ofLimerick), and Professor Matthew Campbell (University of York) are the Director & AssociateDirector.
Sam McCready will lead the drama workshop, and Paula Meehan will conduct the poetry workshop. Special events will include readings by John Banville, Seamus Heaney and Eilean Ní Chuilleanáin, a themed day on 1913 and Labour History, and a workshop on Yeats’s A Vision.
One hundred years ago, Yeats lamented that ‘Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone’ in his great poem ‘September 1913’. In the midst of labour agitation and a controversy over whether paintings and a gallery mattered, Ireland’s preeminent poet staked his claim. Those who build a country build it as if they are maddeningly in love, not distracted by greed or fear. One hundred years later, Yeats’s claim is still relevant.
Patrons
