W.B.Yeats, one of the greatest poets who wrote in English, was also a playwright, theatre director, essayist, Senator of the Irish Free State, and life-long occultist. He knew practically every important figure in the cultural and public life of his time, including Oscar Wilde, Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, Herbert Asquith, Ezra Pound, Sean O'Casey and Eamon de Valera. In tracing these connections, in recording his public controversies and private concerns, as well as providing details of his many hundred books, plays, reviews and essays, this Chronology bears vivid witness to a life which was not only of major literary and cultural importance, but which also offers important insights into contemporary political, intellectual and social networks. T.S.Eliot observed that Yeats was 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time' and this Chronology indicates just how implicated he was in that history.
