Introduction Text
The Joseph Hassett Annual Lecture, generously supported by Joseph Hassett, a lawyer, literary scholar and philanthropist, is an annual event commemorating the work of WB Yeats.

The lecture continues to be inspired by the National Library of Ireland’s long-running exhibition, “The Life and Works of William Butler Yeats,” which features the world’s largest collection of Yeats material, including his Nobel Prize medal.

For those interested in learning more, we invite you to watch the playlist below, and to visit our ongoing exhibition Yeats: The Life and Works of William Butler Yeats.
