Biographical History
Irish printer. Elizabeth Yeats, the sister of the poet W. B. Yeats, trained as a printer and worked at Dun Emer Industries from 1902-1908. She then founded Cuala Press with her sister, Lily Yeats. The press specialized in works of Irish authors.
Sister of William Butler Yeats.
Elizabeth Corbet Yeats, sister of poet William Butler Yeats, founded and operated a hand-press dedicated to printing Irish poetry and ballads. Inspired by the Irish Literary Society and William Morris, Elizabeth, her sister Lily, and Evelyn Gleeson founded Dun Emer Industries, which included Dun Emer Press; they later moved and renamed their press Cuala Press. These presses published numerous important Irish writers, including the series of Broadsides that featured traditional and contemporary Irish poems and ballads.
Elizabeth C. Yeats writes to Mr. King, 5 Oct. 1914, to thank him for the draft, as they are glad to see money, and for the notice in The Digest. She also offers some information on the Broadsides series, indicating that it does not make money, although they have sold a few complete sets of the six-year run recently.
