Download or read book The Poems of W B Yeats written by Peter McDonald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this multi-volume edition, the poetry of W.B. Yeats (1865–1939) is presented in full, with newly-established texts and detailed, wide-ranging commentary. Yeats began to write verse in the nineteenth century, and over time his own arrangements of poems repeatedly revised and rearranged both texts and canon. This edition of Yeats’s poetry presents all his verse, both published and unpublished, including a generous selection of textual variants from the many manuscript and printed sources. The edition also supplies the most extensive commentary on Yeats’s poetry to date, explaining specific references, and setting poems in their contexts; it also gives an account of the vast range of both literary and historical influences at work on the verse. The poems are presented in order of composition, and major revisions or rewritings of poems result in separate inclusions (in chronological sequence) for these writings as they were subsequently reconceived by the poet. In this second volume, the poems of Yeats’s early maturity emerge in the contexts of his engagement with Irish history and myth, along with nationalist politics; his increasing involvement with ritual magic and esoteric lore; and his turbulent, often unhappy, personal life. The poems of The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics (1892) reveal a poet of intense narrative power and metaphorical resource, adept at transforming miscellaneous sources into haunting and original poems. A major revision of his earlier narrative, ‘The Wanderings of Oisin’, takes place in this decade when Yeats is also taken up with the composition of elaborate and uncanny symbolic lyrics, many of them resulting from his love for Maud Gonne, that are finally collected in The Wind Among the Reeds (1899). This edition makes it possible to trace in detail Yeats’s debts to folklore and magic, alongside his involved and often difficult private and public life, in poetry of exceptional complexity and power.

Download or read book W B Yeats s Use of the Ballad Form written by Shannon O'Byrne and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this thesis is to show that the subject and style of Yeats's ballads undergo fundamental changes all of which use the intensity of the traditional ballad form. As Yeats writes: "we artists . . . are the servants not of any cause but of mere naked life, and above all of that life in its nobler forms, where joy and sorrow are one, Artificers of the Great Moment" (El, 260). In Yeats's earliest ballads, discussed in Chapter One, he draws upon the elemental emotional appeal of the folk ballad through the conventions of its traditional use. Ballads written in this period, such as "Down by the Salley Gardens," "The Stolen Child," and "The Ballad of Moll Magee," are simple, concise, intellectually unassuming, and generally consistent with the traditional ballad form. Yeats's later experimentation with the ballad takes a dramatically new tack, described in Chapter Two as being directed by the philosophy of A Vision. Yeats breaks sharply with ballad convention, no longer focusing on the narration of a centralized event but on the poetic revelation of mystical ideas. The simple ballad-like theme of "The Three Bushes," for example, is transformed into a poem of philosophical challenge by the series of esoteric poems which follow it. Similarly, a profound complexity of thought and expression characterize the "Crazy Jane" poems which resemble the traditional ballad only in certain structural qualities. Yeats's last ballad-like poems, discussed in Chapter Three, are of four main types. First, ballads like "Long-legged Fly" continue Yeats's objective of revealing the powerful ideas of A Visi-on, though in a manner more accessible than that of the "Crazy Jane" series. Second, thematically hybrid poems like "Three Marching Songs" unite philosophical themes to political ones. Third, Yeats composes ballads in which Irish politics alone constitute his subject as in "Come Gather round Me Parnellites." And finally, ballads like "Colonel Martin" show Yeats capturing an emotional intensity different from that of his earliest ballads though within the same traditional context. Regardless of their focus, however, Yeats's last ballads reflect his increasing commitment to write for a larger audience than the narrative and thematic complexity of the "Crazy Jane" series would admit; in his last works, Yeats uses the ballad as a means through which to speak to the "indomitable Irishry" (VP, 640).

Download or read book Unlocking the Poetry of W B Yeats written by Daniel Tompsett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlocking the Poetry of W.B. Yeats undertakes a thorough re-reading of Yeats' oeuvre as an extended meditation on the image and theme of the heart as it is evident within the poetry. It places the heart at the centre of a complex web of Yeatsian preoccupations and associations—from the biographical, to the poetic and philosophical, to the mythological and mystical. In particular, the book seeks to unlock Yeats’ mystifying aesthetic vision via his understanding of the ancient Egyptian "Weighing of the Heart" ceremony. The work provides a chronological narrative arc that looks to use the theme of the heart as it recurs in the poetry in order to circumvent and overcome more established frameworks. Its purpose is to offer refreshing ways of conceptualizing and building alternatives to more deeply entrenched, but not entirely satisfactory arguments that have been offered since Yeats' death in 1939, while demonstrating the centrality of the occult to Yeats' art.
