  • 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.

  • Predetermination and Nihilism in W. B. Yeats's Theatre
    Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses 5 (1992): 143-53 Predetermination and Nihilism in W. B. Yeats's Theatre Francisco Javier Torres Ribelles University of Alicante ABSTRACT This paper puts forward the hypothesis that Yeats's theatre is affected by a determinist component that governs it. This dependence is held to be the natural consequence of his desire to créate a universal art, a wish that confines the writer to a limited number of themes, death and oíd age being the most important. The paper also argües that the deter- minism is positive in the early stage but that it clearly evolves towards a negative kind. In spite of the playwright's acknowledged interest in doctrines related to the occult, the necessity of a more critical analysis is also put forward. The paper goes on to suggest that underlying the negative determinism of Yeats's late period there is a nihilistic view of life, of life after death and even of the work of art. The paper concludes by arguing that the poet may have exaggerated his pose as a response to his admitted inability to change the modern world and as a means of overcoming his sense of impending annihilation. The attitude underlying Yeats's earliest plays is radically opposed to what we find in the final ones. In the first stage, the determinism to which the subject matter inevitably leads is given a positive character by being adapted to the author's perspective. There is an emphasis on the power of art and a celebration of the Nietzschean-romantic valúes defended by the poet.

Email: [email protected] Last year while conducting archival research for my doctoral thesis on W. B. Yeats at the National Library of Ireland, Dublin, I was in search of a newly published book by a non-Indian author to investigate contemporary views on Yeats and India, when I chanced upon Snežana Dabić’s W.B. Yeats and Indian Thought: A Man Engaged in that Endless Research into Life, Death, God. There has been a history of critical engagement with the Indian and Eastern connections in Yeats’s writing. After Yeats’s death in 1939, extensive researches were conducted on Yeats by noteworthy European scholars and biographers. However, one can readily notice a commonality in the works of all these scholars: they seem to be reading India or the East as a tangential source of inspiration for Yeats. However, the attempt by Dabić, the latest in this long tradition of scholarly interest in Yeats and his Indian sources, revisits some of these discourses and tries to address poignant questions hitherto left untouched, some of them being, how exactly did W.

  • Black and White: the Balanced View in Yeats's Poetry
    Black and White: the Balanced View in Yeats's Poetry ROB JACKAMAN EATS'S collections of poems The Tower (1928) and The Winding Stair (1933) have for some time now •*• been regarded as, in very general terms, presenting two conflicting responses to experience — the one drama• tising the claims of the soul, and the other stating the rival claims of the body. But this tension of opposites, or the struggle to maintain an equilibrium between opposites, is by no means restricted to the relationship between those two volumes. Throughout the Collected Poems, in fact, one can constantly discern the fluctuation between state• ment and counter-statement within single poems, or between various groups of poems, as well as between Whole collections (Yeats's frequent use of the self/anti-self pattern being the most obvious manifestation of it). For present purposes, though, I wish to limit myself to a discussion of various instances of balance with ref• erence to just two poems — "Easter 1916" and "Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen."1 I have chosen these particular poems because, though the conclusions arrived at in them are radically different, the poems are nevertheless similar enough in basic content to make a comparison worthwhile. Both, for instance, refer to twentieth-century historical events in Ireland (indeed, in each case we are confronted with the historical significance of the material in the fact that the titles are actual dates) ; yet both rely ultimately on a transformation into something of wider import of the political material which provides the starting point of the poem. 30 ROB JACKAMAN The Rising which is the ostensible centre of "Easter 1916," while occurring in the public arena, created a num• ber of personal and artistic problems for Yeats.

  • The Evolution of Yeats's Dance Imagery
    THE EVOLUTION OF YEATS’S DANCE IMAGERY: THE BODY, GENDER, AND NATIONALISM Deng-Huei Lee, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2003 APPROVED: David Holdeman, Major Professor Peter Shillingsburg, Committee Member Scott Simpkins, Committee Member Brenda Sims, Chair of Graduate Studies in English James Tanner, Chair of the Department of English C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Lee, Deng-Huei, The Evolution of Yeats’s Dance Imagery: The Body, Gender, and Nationalism. Doctor of Philosophy (British Literature), August 2003, 168 pp., 6 illustrations, 147 titles. Tracing the development of his dance imagery, this dissertation argues that Yeats’s collaborations with various early modern dancers influenced his conceptions of the body, gender, and Irish nationalism. The critical tendency to read Yeats’s dance emblems in light of symbolist- decadent portrayals of Salome has led to exaggerated charges of misogyny, and to neglect of these emblems’ relationship to the poet’s nationalism. Drawing on body criticism, dance theory, and postcolonialism, this project rereads the politics that underpin Yeats’s idea of the dance, calling attention to its evolution and to the heterogeneity of its manifestations in both written texts and dramatic performances. While the dancer of Yeats’s texts follow the dictates of male-authored scripts, those in actual performances of his works acquired more agency by shaping choreography. In addition to working directly with Michio Ito and Ninette de Valois, Yeats indirectly collaborated with such trailblazers of early modern dance as Loie Fuller, Isadora Duncan, Maud Allan, and Ruth St.

  • 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.
