Tread softly because you tread on my dreams<\/em> \u2013 wrote the Irish poet and Nobel Prize laurate William Butler Yeats. His authorship mirrors both his own life journey and a nation\u2019s dramatic struggle for freedom.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Yeats moved seemingly effortlessly between the metaphysical, the quotidian and a concrete political striving towards liberty. In addition, the endless thirst for love was always present in his poetry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nobel Prize Museum arranges a conversation between the literary scholar Margaret Mills Harper<\/strong>, the Irish historian Roy Foster<\/strong>, Swedish Academy member Anders Olsson<\/strong> and The Nobel Prize Museum\u2019s Carin Klaesson<\/strong>. On stage we also have Melinda Kinnaman<\/span><\/strong>, of The Royal Dramatic Theatre, who will read a selection of poems by W.B. Yeats.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The conversation will be held in English and is arranged together with the Department of English at Stockholm University.<\/span> The ticket price also includes entrance to the museum’s exhibitions, which are open until 21:00. Before and after the conversation, Bistro Nobel offers a special Friday menu<\/a> with well-selected small dishes, suitable wines, beer, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options. The bistro is also open until 21:00.<\/p>\n
