L'autore:

Yeats was born in Dublin in 1865 into an artistic family and spent his childhood in Sligo, Dublin and London. He enrolled in the Metropolitan School of Art in 1884 and during this time developed a lifelong interest in magic and the occult. Yeats made his home in London but visited Ireland frequently and for a while was close to the politics of Irish nationalism. He became a Senator of the Irish Free State in 1922, moving to live in Dublin and in Co. Galway. He died in France in 1939.
