Yeats and Artistic Power

History & Criticism

NYU Press

W. B. Yeats was the outstanding figure in the early years of the Irish Literary Renaissance. This study offers the fullest, most detailed picture available of Yeats's impact on that movement between 1885 and 1899 and sheds new light upon the development of the movement itself. For this new edition, Professor Marcus has added an introductory essay surveying work in the field since the original publication of the study and offering important new interpretive material of his own.

Yeats and the Beginning of the Irish Renaissance: Second Edition (Irish Studies)

Dramas & Plays

Syracuse University Press

The first book to consider William Butler Yeats's aesthetic of artistic power, demonstrating the centrality in his work―from his earliest essay to the great poems and plays of his last years―of the concept that art shapes life. Drawing on the Irish bardic tradition as well as such figures as Shelley, Blake, and Wilde, Yeats developed a stance that enabled him to reconcile the exacting demands of literary craftsmanship, his interest in occult thought, and his desire to advance the cause of Irish nationalism. For this edition, new material has been added, connecting the argument of the original book to recent developments in theory and adding a Jungian perspective.
