Excerpt from W. B. Yeats: A Critical Study

William butler yeats, the eldest son of Mr. J. B. Yeats, the well-known artist, was born at Sandymount, Dublin, on the 13th of June, 1865. His paternal grandfather was William Butler Yeats, m.a., Rector of Tully lish, Co. Down; his maternal grandfather was William Pollexfen, merchant and shipowner, Sligo. At the age of nine he went to London, where his parents then lived, and received his first education at Godolphin School, Hammer smith. When he was fifteen he was sent to the Erasmus Smith School, Dublin. His grand parents lived in Sligo, and it is the Sligo country that forms the background of all his early work, both in prose and verse. The town of Ballah, which he writes of in J ohn°sherman, is the town of Sligo a town of grey streets, of narrow roads and mean little shops, full enough in summer of trout and salmon fishers, but sleeping all winter like the bears. Mr. Yeats's love Of Sligo is very vividly expressed in this book, written when.

Excerpt from W. B. Yeats: A Critical Study

In writing this essay I have had the different editions of Mr. Yeats's works before me. Where the texts have been revised I have always quoted from the last version, save in the cases of The Secret Rose, The Land of Heart's Desire, and The Shadowy Waters. In these three instances I have chosen an earlier version, and have explained my reasons for doing so in the text. I have to thank Mrs. Tynan Hinkson for her kindness in allowing me to make use of her Twenty-five Years: Reminiscences, and Mr. A. H. fallen and Mr. Elkin Mathews for their courtesy in giving me permission to quote whatever I desired from those works of Mr. Yeats which they publish. From Mr. Fisher Unwin I have purchased a similar privilege in regard to two or three lyrics, The Land of Heart's Desire, and The Wanderings of Usheen, published by him in the volume called Poems by W. B. Yeats.
