Joseph Hassett Yeats lecture to celebrate WB Yeats’ birthday
Professor John McCourt and Joseph Hassett
The lecture will be delivered by Joycean scholar and Professor of English at the University of Macerata, Professor John McCourt.
Each year, with the generous support of lawyer, literary scholar and philanthropist Joseph Hassett, the National Library of Ireland offers a keynote lecture marking the birth of WB Yeats on 13th June 1865. The lecture is inspired by the NLI’s long-running exhibition YEATS: The Life and Works of William Butler Yeats, which showcases the largest collection of Yeats material in the world.
