W.B. Yeats and the Ghost Club

Dr Tara Stubbs uses exciting new research findings to discuss the close links between Yeats's attendances at the Ghost Club during the 1910s-1920s, his (sometimes amusing) spiritualist experiments, and his poetic works.

The London-based Ghost Club was an esoteric society with many high-profile members. My talk will use exciting new research findings to discuss the close links between Yeats's attendances at the Ghost Club during the 1910s-1920s, his (sometimes amusing) spiritualist experiments, and his poetic works. Dr Tara Stubbs is a University Lecturer in English Literature and Creative Writing.
