Scholars and critics commonly align W. B. Yeats with Ezra Pound, T.
S. Eliot and the modernist movement at large. This incisive study
from renowned poetry critic Edna Longley argues that Yeats'
presence and influence in modern poetry have been sorely
misunderstood. Longley disputes the value of modernist critical
paradigms and suggests alternative perspectives for interpreting
Yeats - perspectives based on his own criticism, and on how Ireland
shaped both his criticism and his poetry. Close readings of
particular poems focus on structure, demonstrating how radically
Yeats' approach to poetic form differs from that of Pound and
Eliot. Longley discusses other twentieth-century poets in relation
to Yeats' insistence on tradition, and offers valuable insights
into the work of Edward Thomas, Wallace Stevens, Wilfred Owen, Hugh
MacDiarmid, W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice, Geoffrey Hill, Philip
Larkin and Ted Hughes. Her postscript addresses key issues in
contemporary poetry by taking a fresh look at Yeats's enduring
legacy.
