IMAGINATIONS AND REVERIES IBD

Sinopse

''Imaginations and Reveries'' is a collection of essays and literary critiques written by George William Russell, also known as AE. Russell was an Irish poet, writer, and artist who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this book, he explores various topics related to literature, art, and spirituality. The essays in this collection cover a wide range of subjects, including the role of the artist in society, the nature of creativity, and the meaning of life. Russell also offers his thoughts on the works of other writers and artists, including William Butler Yeats, John Keats, and Vincent van Gogh. Throughout the book, Russell?s writing is marked by a poetic and introspective style. He often draws on his own experiences and personal beliefs to explore these complex topics. Overall, ''Imaginations and Reveries'' offers a unique perspective on the intersection of art, spirituality, and the human experience. It is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in these topics, as well as for fans of Russell?s other works.The art of Hone and the elder Yeats, while in spirit filled with a sentiment which was the persistence of ancient moods into modern times, still has not the external characteristics of Gaeldom, but looking at the pictures of the younger Yeats it seemed to me that for the first time we had something which could be called altogether Gaelic. The incompleteness of the sketches suggests the term ''folk'' as expressing exactly the inspiration of this very genuine art. We have had abundance of Irish folk-lore, but we knew nothing of folk-art until the figures of Jack Yeats first romped into our imagination a few years ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world?s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
