Cons: If you know nothing of Celtic myth, some poems may be confusing... etain's Full Review: Yeats, William Butler I will be eternally grateful to Professor Brown and the New York University class I took in Irish literature for introducing me to Yeats. Not that I hadn't heard a poem or two by the man prior to the class; but having a background in Irish history just enhanced all the poems tenfold. Even if you haven't that background, though, it's nearly impossible not to respond to the sheer beauty of some of his work; his poem about "The Cloths of Heaven" is one of my absolute favorite love poems, opening with the speaker wishing for "the Heavens' embroidered cloth/enwrought with gold and silver light," so he could spread it under his beloved's feet; "But," he goes on, "I, being poor, have only my dreams./...I have spread my dreams under your feet;/Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

An Introduction to W B Yeats by Ian Mackean Bookshop English Literature W B Yeats York Notes ... GCSE Books Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world ['The Second Coming'] This is a sample article from The Essentials of Literature in English Post-1914 edited by Ian Mackean. William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) is regarded as not only the most important Irish poet, but also as one of the most important English language poets, of the 20th century. He was a key figure in the Irish Cultural Revival, his later poems made a significant contribution to Modernism, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. His early poems, the first being published when he was twenty, are characterised by a dreamy romanticism in both their form and content. He was interested in the Gaelic language, song, and folklore, and used effects borrowed from Gaelic literature in his own poems. He wanted to reawaken Ireland to its ancient literature. According to an article written a year before his death, his efforts had a mixed reception. On the one hand, these evocations of Celtic beauty, heroism, and strangeness wakened . . . Ireland's ears to the sound of its own voice speaking its own music. [1]

O NE of the most celebrated literary landmarks in Ireland is "the autograph tree," in what was once the walled garden of Lady Augusta Gregory's estate at Coole Park, in County Galway. On the welted bark one can still make out the famous initials: WBY, GBS, AE, and several more, including those of Violet Martin (the pseudonymous "Ross" of the Somerville and Ross writing partnership), who visited Coole in the summer of 1901, and wrote, Yeats looks just what I expected. A cross between a Dominie Sampson and a starved R.C. curate in seedy black clothes with a large black bow at the root of his long naked throat. He is egregiously the poet mutters ends of verse to himself with a wild eye, bows over your hand in dark silence but poet he is and very interesting indeed and somehow sympathetic to talk to I liked him.... Augusta made me add my initials to a tree already decorated by Douglas Hyde, AE and more of the literary crowd. It was most touching. WBY did the carving, I smoked, and high literary conversation raged and the cigarette went out and I couldn't make the matches light, and he held the little dingy lappets of his coat out and I lighted the match in his bosom.

Most of his formative and professional activities occurred near this Primary Location. His childhood was spent near Dublin and summer vacationing in Sligo (54N10; 8W40): locations that appear frequently in his writ­ing. When he was nine the Yeats family briefly relocated to London, but in 1880 they returned to Howth, Ireland (53N23; 6W04; near Sandymount), where Yeats attended high school. He studied art in Dublin from 1884 to 1886, but the need to develop his literary talent soon emerged, especially following publication of Mosada (1885): a lyric poem that first appeared in The Dublin University Review Typical Neptune / Mercury keynotes include: “inspiration [...] for artistic expression,” “creative literary expression,” “stimulation of intuitive and creative mental processes,” and “creative writing and poetry.”1 Indeed, two preoccupations dominate Yeats’s work: “lit­erary exploration / of occult, mystic, or spiritual themes” (Primary Mercury / Secondary Neptune) and the promulgation of Irish nationalism through the medium of “literary / pro­paganda” (Mercury / Neptune). “Mystic and occult imagery” (Neptune) occurs throughout his oeuvre; examples include the appearance of “magic” in

Yeats, William Butler Irish poet and dramatist, and Nobel laureate, who was a leader of the Irish Renaissance and one of the foremost writers of the 20th century. Development Yeats returned to Ireland in 1896. He became a close friend of the nationalist playwright Lady Gregory, whom he visited often at her estate at Coole Parke and with whom he traveled in Italy. With Lady Isabella Augusta Gregory he helped found what became in 1904 the famous Abbey Theatre. As its director and dramatist, he helped develop the theater into one of the leading theatrical companies of the world, and a center of the Irish literary revival called the Irish Renaissance. Among the plays he created for it were Cathleen ni Houlihan (1902), a nationalist prose drama with Maud Gonne as the lead, and Deirdre (1907), a tragedy in verse. In his poetry of this period, such as The Wing Among the Reeds (1899), The Shadowy Waters (1900), and The Green Helmet (1910), Yeats strove to abandon his earlier self-conscious softness and facility. His work, now less mystical and symbolic, became clearer and leaner. Later Years As Yeats grew older, he turned to practical politics, serving in the Senate of the new Irish Free State from 1922 to 1928. He also accomplished the feat, rare among poets, of deepening and perfecting his complex styles as the years advanced. His later writings are generally acknowledged to be his best. They were influenced by Georgie Hyde-Lees, his wife since 1917, who had a medium's gift for automated writing. A Vision (1925) is an elaborate attempt in prose to explain the mythology, symbolism, and philosophy that Yeats used in much of his work. It discusses the eternal opposites of objectivity and subjectivity, art and life, soul and body that are the basis of his philosophy. Other poetic works in this vein are The Wild Swans at Coole (1917), The Tower (1928), and The Winding Stair (1933).

May 1938 ATLANTIC MAGAZINE Share Email Print William Butler Yeats By Louise Bogan William Butler Yeats, at the age of seventy-three, stands well within the company of the great poets. He is still writing, and the poems which now appear, usually embedded in short plays or set into the commentary and prefaces which have been another preoccupation of his later years, are, in many instances, as vigorous and as subtle as the poems written by him during the years ordinarily considered to be the period of a poet's maturity. Yeats has advanced into age with his art strengthened by a long battle which had as its object a literature written by Irishmen fit to take its place among the noble literatures of the world. The spectacle of a poet's work invigorated by his lifelong struggle against the artistic inertia of his nation is one that would shed strong light into any era.
