  • For the Harmony of the Race, Each Individual Should Be
    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.

From almost all of our most celebrated Poets, and from some with whom I had no personal acquaintance, I either received or heard of expressions of admiration that (I can truly say) ap­ peared to myself utterly disproportionate to a work that pretended to be nothing more than a common Faery Tale.... -This before publication. And since then, with very few exceptions, I have heard no­ thing but abuse, and this too in a spirit of bitterness at least as disproportionate to the pretensions of the poem, had it been the most pitiably below mediocrity, as the previous eulogies and far more in­ explicable. l Surely

  • “Am I Not of Those Who Reared / the Banner of Old Ireland High?” Triumphalism, Nationalism and Conflicted Identities in Francis Ledwidge’S War Poetry
    Romp /1 “Am I not of those who reared / The banner of old Ireland high?” Triumphalism, nationalism and conflicted identities in Francis Ledwidge’s war poetry. Bachelor Thesis Charlotte Romp Supervisor: dr. R. H. van den Beuken 15 June 2017 Engelse Taal en Cultuur Radboud University Nijmegen Romp /2 Abstract This research will answer the question: in what ways does the poetry written by Francis Ledwidge in the wake of the Easter Rising reflect a changing stance on his role as an Irish soldier in the First World War? Guy Beiner’s notion of triumphalist memory of trauma will be employed in order to analyse this. Ledwidge’s status as a war poet will also be examined by applying Terry Phillips’ definition of war poetry. By remembering the Irish soldiers who decided to fight in the First World War, new light will be shed on a period in Irish history that has hitherto been subjected to national amnesia. This will lead to more complete and inclusive Irish identities. This thesis will argue that Ledwidge’s sentiments with regards to the war changed multiple times during the last year of his life. He is, arguably, an embodiment of the conflicting loyalties and tensions in Ireland at the time of the Easter Rising. Key words: Francis Ledwidge, Easter Rising, First World War, Ireland, Triumphalism, war poetry, loss, homesickness Romp /3 Table of contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 4 Chapter 1 History and Theory ...................................................................................................

  • Samuel Taylor Coleridge: a Critical Biography (Cambridge, Mass.: Blackwell Publishers, 1996): Pp
    Thematic Analysis of “Christabel” Published in 1816, “Christabel” is a poem written in two parts, Part I written in 1798 and Part II in 1800. The poem was influenced by Percy’s Reliques of Ancient Poetry, a collection of medieval ballads— short, highly dramatic poems that originated in the folk tradition. These ballads were at one time transmitted orally among illiterate people, and they included pieces of Gothic horror such as vampirism, violence, eroticism, and strange, gloomy settings. The Gothic influence is plain in the work of novelist Matthew Lewis, whose book The Monk Coleridge discussed in an article for The Critical Review of February 1797. In his introduction to The Monk, John Berryman states that “this grotesque school helped usher in the English Romantic Movement and debauched taste without ever really participating in the glories of the movement unless in the book before us.” These tales also contain elements of medieval literature, such as haunted castles, magic spells, and treacherous journeys. “Medievalism” was much concerned with stories of unrequited love as an essential part of the Middle Ages’ courtly love tradition. The poem’s central character, Christabel, who searches for her long- absent lover, is very much in the same tradition. Part I begins with the tale of “the lovely lady” Christabel, the daughter of the rich but ineffectual Baron, Sir Leoline. (This name is ironic, for it implies all the attributes that the character lacks, namely the strength and courage of a lion.) In the poem’s opening scene, Christabel is in a dark and foreboding forest that is transformed into a unnatural landscape when the distinction between night and day is ominously disturbed.

Deconstructing Gender Stereotypes: Prefiguring Modern Sexuality in S.T. Coleridge’s “Christabel” (1797-1800) This essay grapples with a lesbian reading of Coleridge’s “Christabel.” This modern perspective with regard to gender differen- tiation and sexuality shows that the poem deconstructs the heterosex- ist culture that considers homosexuality as a psycho-somatic disorder and socially unacceptable. By gender we are generally referring to the social and cultural distinctions between men and women. Sexuality is seen from the perspective of eroticism, that is, desires or practices which have an erotic significance. It is connected with, but distin- guished from sex, which refers to the biological distinction between men and women and the activity associated with sexual intercourse.
