Yeats combined his idiosyncratic symbolism with echoes of Japan’s noh drama, attempting to create a new kind of theater. This 1921 collection comprises 1919’s celebrated Two Plays for Dancers (The Only Jealousy of Emer and The Dreaming of the Bones) as well as At the Hawk’s Well and Calvary.
Over de auteur
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) remains one of the world’s most influential poets and playwrights. Born in County Dublin, Ireland, he founded the first Irish national theater in 1899 and ignited the Irish Literary Revival with Lady Augusta Gregory. Yeats was elected to the first Irish Senate in 1922 and was awarded the Gothenburg Prize for Poetry in 1937. His works, including the much-quoted “The Second Coming” and “Easter, 1916, ” reflect modern preoccupations with the cycles of life. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.
