Life and Research
From an Anglican family, father is a shipbuilding engineer. Since 1937, she worked at the Warburg Institute at the University of London . The death of his brother in the world war strengthened her hostility to nationalist ideologies.
The main research topic of Yeats is the methods of maintaining and transmitting traditions in culture, the mechanisms of their synthesis and processing in the transitional Renaissance . Hence her interest in the problems of the “art of memory” and hidden teachings - esoteric, occult , hermetic , to such figures as Ramon Lul (Raimund Lullius), Giordano Bruno , John Dee , Robert Fludd , not to mention Shakespeare , who always remained at the center her attention. In The Theater of the World, published in 1969, Yeats looks at "public theaters, including the Globe, " as adaptations of the ancient theater described by Vitruvius , created under the influence of John Dee 's ideas, who turned them mainly to the middle and artisan classes of the time " .
