A Critical Look at WB Yeats

Exploring his Contribution to and Distortion of Folklore

  Enroll in Course

This online class will explore WB Yeats background and various factors influencing his work. We will discuss important biases he had and why. We will also explore aspects of Irish folklore that he reshaped in radical ways.

Yeats is often put forward as a significant resource for Irish folklore and much of his material is considered definitive, yet when we look beneath the surface we find that he was very creative in what he wrote. Rather than a collector and preserver of Irish folklore, he was a creator of beliefs that can be found today but are at odds with Irish folklore itself. The Leannán sidhe, the Geancánach, and the Amadán na Bruidhne are all beings whose folklore was rewritten - sometimes out of all recognition- by Yeats. Students of this class will explore Yeats background and interests to understand why he took the approach he did. We will also compare and contrast Yeats material to contemporary Irish folklore preserved elsewhere.

How long will my enrollment last for?
After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this version of the recordings for as long as you remain a member of the Irish Pagan School - across any and all devices you own. So, you can take your time, or get it all done quickly, and revisit it all whenever you want to - it's completely up to you.
What if I enroll, then change my mind?
If you are unsatisfied with your purchase for ANY reason, contact us within the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund, no questions asked. If you do require a refund, please just contact the Irish Pagan School directly, by email. We will deal with your request and refund your money with no problems!
Do I need to have Irish ancestry to study here?
No, absolutely not. We provide authentic connection to Ireland, with native or naturalised Irish teachers, for anyone who wishes to learn from us and is willing to put in the time and effort to do this properly... rather than grab a culturally appropriated quick fix.

"Informative and concise, this class gives the student an opportunity to immediately apply the knowledge acquired in most practical ways. The no-nonsense approach, which has become a staple for classes in Irish Pagan School, left me with the sense of clarity and appreciation for the Irish heritage of charms and its application…"
