Biographical History

In August of 1913, Yeats, while staying with the Tuckers at The Prelude, a house in Ashdown Forest, found lodgings in Stone Cottage, Colman's Hatch. There he settled in with Ezra Pound acting as his secretary.

When the First World War broke out the Ashdown Forest was declared a prohibited area, and both Yeats and the Pounds, as aliens, were asked to leave but with Robert Bridges interceding on their behalf, the Home Office allowed them to stay. At the end of the war, Ezra Pound went to Paris, while Yeats travelled first to Oxford then to his tower at Thoor Ballyle near Coole Park.

Biographical/Historical note

The University of California, Santa Cruz planning grant for Califas was directed by Eduardo Carrillo. The grant period was from January 1, 1982 - December 31, 1982. The videos and 7 bound volumes were purchased from Leonel Heredia and cover some material that is different than the Santa Cruz planning grant project but are part of Califas: Chicano Art and Culture in California. The audio tapes are of the Califas conference held April 16 - 17, 1982 at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Volume 7 contains an index that describes the video and audio tapes. There is also a bound volume pertaining to the grant and conference events.
