    http://www.englishworld2011.info/ WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS / 2019 For the harmony of the race, each individual should be the expression of an easy & ample interpenetration of the male & female temperaments—free of stress Woman must become more responsible for the child than man— Women must destroy in themselves, the desire to be loved— The feeling that it is a personal insult when a man transfers his attentions from her to another woman The desire for comfortable protection instead of an intelligent curiosity & courage in meeting & resisting the pressure of life sex or so called love must be reduced to its initial element, honour, grief, sentimentality, pride & consequently jealousy must be detached from it. Woman for her happiness must retain her deceptive fragility of appearance, combined with indomitable will, irreducible courage, & abundant health the outcome of sound nerves— Another great illusion that woman must use all her introspective clear-sightedness & unbiassed bravery to destroy—for the sake of her self respect is the impurity of sex the realisation in defiance of superstition that there is nothing impure in sex—except in the mental attitude to it—will constitute an incalculable & wider social regeneration than it is possible for our generation to imagine. 1914 1982 WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS 1865-1939 William Butler Yeats was born to an Anglo-Irish family in Dublin. His father, J. B. Yeats, had abandoned law to take up painting, at which he made a somewhat precar- ious living. His mother came from the Pollexfen family that lived near Sligo, in the west of Ireland, where Yeats spent much of his childhood.

    Activities by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in support of Yeats 2015 Introduction 2015 marked the 150th anniversary of the birth of WB Yeats, the Nobel Prize-winning poet. A Yeats 2015 steering committee oversaw the presentation of an impressive programme of events to celebrate Yeats’ life and legacy. While most events took place in Ireland, a great number of events also took place overseas and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade was very pleased to provide its support to the delivery of an engaging programme in a diverse range of locations. The Department, through the Embassy network, worked closely with the Yeats 2015 steering committee and with overseas partners, to organise or support over 100 international events and activities that celebrated the range and depth of Yeats’ work and brought Yeats’ legacy to the attention of audiences new and old across the globe. Among the events that took place were recitals and musical performances, exhibitions, lectures, international academic conferences and symposia, the publication of new translations of Yeats’ poetry, and prominent poetry displays on the London and Shanghai underground transport networks, in each case lasting for a period of many weeks. The Department’s travelling exhibition “The Life and Works of WB Yeats”, based on an exhibition curated by the National Library of Ireland, also proved particularly popular throughout 2015, as the 11 separate language versions were exhibited in five continents throughout the year. The programme culminated in December’s worldwide recitation of ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree’, in which Minister Flanagan also participated. The programme of events attracted extensive coverage in overseas media over the course of the year, reinforced through interviews with visiting Irish Ministers and local Ambassadors.

  • Cultural Revival and Political Rebellion in Ireland An
    A Terrible Beauty: Cultural Revival and Political Rebellion in Ireland An MLA Pro-seminar (LIT 200) Charles Junkerman Stanford Continuing Studies In the last decades of the 19th century, Ireland experienced a dramatic cultural renaissance, that saw the revival of the Gaelic language, the reinvention of Irish sports, the establishment of a national theater, the recovery of thousands of folksong and tales, and the emergence of some of the greatest poets and playwrights of modern times. Alongside this cultural activity, political associations like the Irish Republican Brotherhood and Sinn Fein gained momentum. Together, they gave definition to Ireland’s smoldering opposition to British colonialism that culminated in the Easter Rising of 1916, followed by the War of Independence and the Irish Civil War that ended only in 1923. In this seminar, we will read the work of poets and playwrights of the “Irish Renaissance” and study the historical events that made the names of political actors as celebrated in Irish memory as the poets. We will also find time to watch Neil Jordan’s great film, Michael Collins. Syllabus (tentative): Week 1: Introduction and Overview Kiberd, pp. 1-32 Kee, as much of pp. 1-151 as you can manage Week 2: The Celtic Revival, Lady Gregory, and Early Yeats Lady Gregory, “Cathleen Ni Houlihan” in Harrington Lady Gregory, “Our Irish Theatre” in Harrington, 377-386 Critical Essays in Harrington, 398-423 and 433-446 Yeats: Early Poems “The Stolen Child,” “Down by the Salley Gardens, ” “To the Rose Upon the Rood of Time,” “Fergus and the Druid,” “The Rose of the World,” “The Lake Isle of Innisfree,” "Who Goes with Fergus?" “To Ireland in the Coming Times,” “The Hosting of the Sidhe,” “The Song of Wandering Aengus” Kiberd, 136-165 2 Week 3: Oscar Wilde Wilde, “The Importance of Being Earnest” Camille Paglia, “Oscar Wilde and the English Epicene” pp.

Obsessed with the peet's occultism, critics have pursued it to a depth which Yeats, a notedly poor scholar, could never have equalled; nor could he have matched their zeal for his politics. While it is not the purpose here to evaluate or even extensively to examine this criticism, two critics in particular, Richard Ellmann and John Unterecker, will preve especially valuable in this discussion. Ellmann's Yeats: ----The Man and The Masks is essentially a critical biography, Unterecker's ! Reader's Guide l! William Butler Yeats, while it uses biographical material, attempts to fecus upon critical interpretations of particular poems and groups of poems from the Collected Poems. In combination, the work of Ellmann and Unterecker synthesize the poet and his poetry and support the thesis here that the pattern which Yeats saw emerging in his life and which he incorporated in his work is, structurally, the same pattern of a death and rebirth cycle which he explicated in his philosophical book, A Vision.

  • Yeats's Reception of Apollo and Daphne in “A Prayer for My Daughter”
    Yeats’s Reception of Apollo and Daphne in “A Prayer for my Daughter” By Will LaMarra Yeats incorporates the Apollo and Daphne story from Ovid’s Metamorphoses as a pretext for his “A Prayer for my Daughter,” and while it is clear from the poem that Yeats’s daughter, whom he likens to a laurel tree, serves as a stand-in for Daphne, there is debate as to what this source text reveals about Yeats himself. While Daniel Harris, in his book Yeats: Coole Park & Ballylee, claims that Yeats, in this poem, assumes the role of Apollo in pursuit of Anne as his Daphne (142), Elizabeth Butler Cullingford, in her chapter, “Yeats and Women: Michael Robertes and the Dancer,” refutes this claim, stating that Yeats stands in for Peneus, Daphne’s father (250). The Apollo-Peneus dichotomy, however, is a false one. In his poem, Yeats sees himself taking up aspects of both figures and, indeed, collapses each of their roles into one. This collapse not only reveals Yeats’s conflicted desire to simultaneously preserve his daughter’s innocent and achieve romantic satisfaction vicariously through her, but it also provides us an insight into Yeats’s artistic impulse, one which leads to Anne Yeats’s lignification and transformation into a monument of “custom and ceremony” from which beauty emerges. Yeats’s most apparent role in his “A Prayer for my Daughter” is that of a father, and so, given his incorporation of Ovid as a source-text, one might first think to conflate him with the river god, Peneus. Yet beyond the obvious connection to Peneus’s paternal role (the fact that Yeats is addressing his daughter), Yeats weaves Peneus’s two main actions in the Apollo and Daphne story into the fabric of his poem: his wish to sequester his daughter into married life and his transformation of his daughter into a tree.

  • Yeats Revisited by Kathleen Raine
    Yeats Revisited by Kathleen Raine Miguel Angel Montezanti Abstract: It is frequently stated that Yeats is a great poet despite the fact that his mind, tastes and inclinations were dangerously or eccentrically turned to mysterious or mystified matters. It is Kathleen Raine’s contention that, far from being too credulous, Yeats was extremely conscious of his advances in this type of knowledge; and that words such as esoteric, occultism, hermetic lore and some others are more often misunderstood. The Academy misreads Yeats in the same way that it has misread Blake or Shelley. That traditional background is not the one which the Academy usually deals with. Yeats did not write his poems to provide material for doctoral theses but to heal and sustain our human condition. Yeats’s poems related to the Irish Renaissance are concerned with an Ireland of the Imagination. In Kathleen’s opinion, Yeats remains a poet in the traditional sense of the word, not in the modern one. The traditional meaning would account for a speaker of wisdom, truth and the tradition of the Imagination. Keywords: Yeats’s poetry; Irish tradition; Kathleen Raine. Katheen Raine (1908-2003) was a poet, critic and essayist as well. Her books on criticism have been translated into several languages. Her main concerns have been William Blake and W.B. Yeats, among other poets in which she perceives the “learning of the imagination”. The purpose of this article is to analyze her stance as regards Yeats as an occultist or an esoteric since it is not infrequently stated that Yeats is a great poet despite the fact that his mind, tastes and inclinations were dangerously or eccentrically turned to mysterious or mystified matters.
