About this book

Essays, Irish and American is a 1918 collection of essays by John Butler Yeats (1839-1922), the Irish portrait painter and writer who was the father of the poet William Butler Yeats and the painter Jack B. Yeats. John Butler Yeats trained as a barrister before turning to portraiture and was a central figure of the Dublin and London artistic and literary worlds of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and a close friend of John O'Leary, Edward Dowden, and Standish O'Grady. In 1907 he travelled to New York at sixty-eight and spent the last fifteen years of his life there in a Greenwich Village boarding house, painting portraits and writing for the American press. The essays collect his American journalism on Irish nationalism, painting, poetry, and the differences between Irish and American character.
