Description

In this study of Yeats' poetry between 1902 and 1916, Greaves stronglyreacts to the tendency in literary criticism to categorize Yeats' work as 'modernist'. Instead, Greaves offers a different way of looking at the transition in Yeats' work in this period, by examining the poems in the context of Yeats' life. As a result, the figure of Yeats the poet is resurrected from the exhaustive category of 'modernism' and the complex connections between the figure of Yeats within the poems and its relationship with the Yeats who exists outside them is revealed.
