He entered St. Catharine’s College, Cambridge as a research student from the University of Southampton, gaining his Ph.D. in 1958. His Doctoral thesis on the role of tradition in Yeats’ final plays was published soon after its completion as W. B. Yeats and Tradition and was followed by Yeats’ Iconography in 1960, which was, in essence, its companion volume. These have been described as still the best source books for those often-neglected aspects of Yeats’ sources of knowledge. He was president of the Shirley Society. After leaving Cambridge, Dr. Wilson travelled widely and taught at the University of Grand Forks in North Dakota, USA, the University of Queensland, Australia, and, during the late 1970s, at Simon Frazer University in Vancouver, Canada. Following this he taught in the University at Xian in China, in Cyprus and in Taiwan. He returned to England and settled in Sevenoaks, Kent, where he died on May 26, 1994.weniger sehen
