    DANA AN IRISH MAGAZINE OF INDEPENDENT THOUGHT CHURCH DISESTABLISHMENT IN FRANCE AND IRELAND. I. IF anyone peruses, even cursorily, the comments in the Irish Catholic press on the present political situation in France, he will obtain an interesting and instructive light on the consistency and spirit of justice which the clerical temper connotes. It is not more than a generation since Irish Catholics were loudly calling out for the disestablish- ment of the Irish Protestant Church. The arguments then used, quite legitimately, were that that Church ministered only to a section of the people, and that in any case it was wrong to take public monies for the endowment of particular creeds. The Irish Catholics were taxed to support a Church in which they did not believe, whilst supporting their own Church voluntarily, and they naturally and properly protested. And the doctrine then in favour in Ireland was that the State, as such, had no right to meddle with religion, which was a private affair that should derive its funds from the free offerings of its own children. Now observe the case in France. The Catholic Church there is in much the same position as was the Protestant Church in Ireland. There are naturally some slight differences, with which I shall presently deal. But the broad fact remains that under the Concordat, the Church obtains public monies from the public purse ; though, of course, she resents public control. For a long time, however, it has been obvious that great numbers of the French people have ceased to believe in this Church or to desire its ministrations.

Remembering the Forgotten Beauty of Yeatsian Mythology: Personae and the Problem of Unity in The Wind Among the Reeds. Master of Arts (English), December, 1999, 48 pp., one table, bibliography, 16 titles. The 1899 version of The Wind Among the Reeds was Yeats’s most deliberately crafted volume to date. It is narrated by a series of Irish personae who have important mythological and occult connotations. Of particular interest are Aedh, Hanrahan, and Michael Robartes, whom Yeats identified as principles of the mind. These three figures “morph” into one another in significant ways that correspond to a major theme in Yeats’s career: the constitution of a unified self amidst psychological, spiritual, and cultural turmoil.

  • DANTE's GERYON and WB YEATS' the SECOND COMING David
    THE FALCON, THE BEAST AND THE IMAGE: DANTE’S GERYON AND W. B. YEATS’ THE SECOND COMING David Cane A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of M aster of Arts in the Department of Romance Languages Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Prof. Dino Cervigni (advisor) Prof. Nicholas Allen (reader) Prof. Ennio Rao (reader) 2007 David Cane ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT: DAVID CANE: The Falcon, the Beast, and the Image: Dante’s “Geryon” and W. B. Yeats’ The Second Coming (Under the direction of Prof. Dino S. Cervigni) The following study aims to fill a void in Yeatsian scholarship by in vestigating the under -analyzed link between William Butler Yeats’ late poetic production and the work of the medieval Florentine poet Dante Alighieri (1265 -1321), focusing primarily but not exclusively on Yeats’ poem The Second Coming. An overview of Yeats ’ reception of Dante’s literary corpus highlights a constant and constantly increasing interest in the Florentine poet’s work on the part of the Irish writer. Close attention is paid to the role of Dante in Yeats’ problematic esoteric volume A Vision , both as a ‘character’ within the work itself and as a shaping force behind the famous ‘system’ which the work outlines, and which serves as the theoretical/ideological backbone for all of Yeats’ successive poetic output. Finally, this study attempts a detailed search for Dantean traces in The Second Coming, arguably Yeats’ most read poem and one that has been called an emblem and a microcosm of all his late poetry.

  • The Evolution of Yeats's Poetic Theory, 1886-1917
    i'I' THE EVOLUTION OF YEATS'S ~OETIC THEORY, 1886-1917. Too L. D. THE EVOLUTION OF YEATS'S POETIC THEORY, 1886-1917 By BARBARA TRIELOFF, B. A. A.Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University November, 1979. MASTER OF ARTS (1979) McMaster University (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Evolution of Yeats IS PoeiiiQ' . Theory, 1886-1917. AUTHOR: Barbara Trieloff, B. A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Brian John. NUMBER OF PAGES: 107, i: Ab~tract: The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that Yeats's articles~ reviews, and essays, spanning the years 1185-1911, accurately describe the evolution of his theory of Unity. The Image,which he stressed in his critical work, was one that he forged for Ireland as an national ideal, and in his poetry, it was a symbol of Unity. On both national and poetic levels, it represented pas s ion,' t rag i c , g a i e t y, the he r 0 i can t i - s elf, II per f e c t ion of personality" and self-fulfilment, all of which -are aspects fundamental to his Doctrine of the Mask, outlined in Per Amica Silentia Lunae(19l7). Moreover, we cannot fully understand the metamorphosis of the Image without considering various -1.nfluences: Blake, Shelley} the Rhymers, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and Mythology. These influences, combined with the cultural situation in Ireland, thus gave rise to the matrix of ideas premised in his essays, reviews, and articles, with clear effects on his poetry and drama.
