Cuala Press



The Cuala Press was set up in 1904 by Elizabeth Yeats and her brother William Butler Yeats. Elizabeth had previously run the Dun Emer Press for two years and had published work by her brother from that imprint. It was intended that the press would produce work by writers associated with the Irish Literary Revival. They ended up publishing over 70 titles in total, including 48 by William Butler Yeats. The press closed in 1946. Elizabeth Yeats had started her career working with William Morris in London. The Cuala was unusual in that it was the only Arts and Crafts press to be run and staffed by women and the only one that published new work rather than established classics. In addition to Yeats, Cuala published works by Ezra Pound, Jack B. Yeats, Robin Flower, Elizabeth Bowen, Oliver St John Gogarty, Lady Gregory, Douglas Hyde, Lionel Johnson, Patrick Kavanagh, Louis MacNiece, John Masefield, Frank O'Connor, John Millington Synge, John Butler Yeats, Rabindranath Tagore and others. After Elizabeth Yeats died in 1940, the work of the press was carried on by two of her long-time assistants, Esther Ryan and Marie Gill. The final Cuala title was ''Stranger in Aran'' by Elizabeth Rivers, which was published on July 31, 1946. ==References== *Lewis, Gifford. ''The Yeats sisters and the Cuala''.
