From The Yeats Sisters and The Cuala : The profession of typesetter and printer requires a particular stolid, grindingly precise type of character, and is not one that could be practised by an emotionally unstable lightweight over a period of thirty-eight years. Elizabeth Corbet Yeats was an oddity in her time and disparagement has clung to her. it is all too easy, when working on Irish subjects, to be led astray by those entertaining stories that delight in malice. They are not meant to be harmful, but in effect they often are: circulated and embellished, they sometimes appear in print as biographical background when they should have been rendered harmless in the wastepaper bin.
