| Abstract | Irish Literature is the 3rd oldest literature of Europe and its origins can be traced to the 3rd and 4th century. Many Irish writers like Edmund Burke, George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats, George William Russell, to name a few, lived in exile in England and broadened the cannon of Irish Literature. Like many colonized countries, Ireland, too, fought a violent battle of independence in 1919. The year 1916 is known as the ‘Easter Rising’ and it was in this battle that Dublin was invaded which is synonymous to Ireland’s independence. This has been very realistically described by W. B. Yeats in his poem ‘Easter 1916’. George William Russell, an Irish poet and artist, wrote under the pseudonym of AE. He was forced to leave his motherland and his writings show the pain of exile, loss and lamentation. Similarly, William Butler Yeats also went through both personal and professional losses which are reflected in his work. My paper intends to understand this pain through the introduction of an interdisciplinary concept of Psychobiography, the unique combination of using psychoanalysis to understand the inner self of the writers. However, this paper will also show the interdependence and relation among migration, mind and literature. The geographical movement of the writer from Ireland to England through a psychological perspective through the study of some of their chosen literary works. |
