The Cutting of an Agate
1903
The Cutting of an Agate, published in 1903 by W. B. Yeats, is a collection of essays exploring Irish literature and cultural identity. Yeats examines the influence of myth and folklore on artistic expression, discussing figures like Cuchulain and the Fianna to highlight the emotional depth of Irish storytelling. The work critiques contemporary literature's disconnect from emotional truths while advocating for a new artistic vision rooted in Ireland's rich traditions. This collection reflects Yeats's insights into the narrative style and communal spirit of Irish myths.
