Stories of Red Hanrahan

by William Butler Yeats


Stories of Red Hanrahan is an ireland social life and customs fiction story about the fictitious character Hanrahan written by William Butler Yeats, an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature.

Excerpts:

Hanrahan, the hedge schoolmaster, a tall, strong, red-haired young man, came into the barn where some of the men of the village were sitting on Samhain Eve. It had been a dwelling-house, and when the man that owned it had built a better one, he had put the two rooms together, and kept it for a place to store one thing or another. There was a fire on the old hearth, and there were dip candles stuck in bottles, and there was a black quart bottle upon some boards that had been put across two barrels to make a table. Most of the men were sitting beside the fire, and one of them was singing a long wandering song, about a Munster man and a Connaught man that were quarrelling about their two provinces.
