	The Birmingham Post (England): Successful picture of brothers in arts; Jack Yeats. By Bruce Arnold (Yale: pounds 29.95). Reviewed by Richard Edmonds.@ HighBeam Research
		He was, in fact, the son of the distinguished Irish portrait painter, John Butler Yeats, and brother of the poet WB Yeats.
		Jack Butler Yeats, the Irish painter of the soul whose life is captured triumphantly by Bruce Arnold in this long-awaited book, has sometimes been lost in the recesses of his own family, frequently suffering confusion with his brother the poet.
		Unlike so many Irish painters of his day, Jack Yeats managed to achieve great success during his lifetime, breaking with style and introducing a kind of demolishing vigour into the pallid world of the many...

	Guardian Unlimited Arts features A troubled house
		When WB Yeats wrote the manifesto for an Irish national theatre in 1904, the stage was set for confrontation.
		Yeats came to think that the former must precede the latter; he was fond of quoting Victor Hugo's dictum, "In the theatre the mob becomes a people", and he held an almost occult view of the theatre's function as a spiritual experience mediating a vitalising ritual between players and audience.
		As the audience rioted on the opening night of Playboy, in January 26 1907, Yeats later recalled: "I stood there watching, knowing well that I saw the dissolution of a school of patriotism that held sway over my youth." The intervention of the police to restore order was deeply resented, and remembered for years.

	The LIfe of WB Yeats, Terence Brown, review by Pat Boran
		Terence Brown has drawn a life which Yeats might not have been entirely happy to recognise, but one can be sure the significance of its appearance on the doorstep of a new millennium would not have escaped him.
		That Brown identifies Yeats's obsessive relationship with the spirit world as simultaneously a threat to his very humanity and as a source for his work neatly and convincingly outlines the project of this book.
		This stance may well have been, as Brown has it, a reaction against 'the materialism of much Victorian science', but the religion Yeats had in mind, it must be said, was far from what most people understood by that word.
