Yeats, it has been claimed, invented a country and called it
Ireland. In his plays, poetry and prose, the Anglo-Irish aristocrat
and the rural Gaelic peasant combine to form a new community
founded on custom and ceremony. Marjorie Howes's 1996 study
attempts to examine Yeats's continuous search for political origins
and cultural traditions through theoretical work on literature,
gender and nationalism in post-colonial cultures. She explores the
complex, often contradictory, ways Yeats's politics are refracted
through his writing and shows how his enthusiastic advocacy of the
concept of nationality often clashed with his distaste for the
dominant, often exclusive, forms of Irish identity surrounding him.
For every public proclamation on national destiny, there is an
intensely private scrutiny of his own sexual identity. Howes places
Yeats at the centre of debates on nationalism and gender that
currently occupy critics in post-colonial studies. Her study will
be of interest to all interested in Irish studies, postcolonial
theory, and the relationship between nationalism and sexuality.
