Stories of Red Hanrahan
1914
Published in 1914, 'Stories of Red Hanrahan' by W. B. Yeats is a collection of interconnected short stories centered on the character Red Hanrahan, a hedge schoolmaster and poet in rural Ireland. The narratives explore themes of love, loss, and the mystical elements of Irish folklore, as Hanrahan navigates his relationships and encounters with supernatural beings. This work is notable for its rich depiction of early 20th-century Irish social life and customs, blending the ordinary with the ethereal in Yeats's signature poetic style.
