As W. H. Auden said to the ghost of Yeats in his famous elegy, when
he died 'he became his admirers'. Not even Auden could have
imagined just how prophetic that phrase would become. The battle
over both Yeats' life and his poetry began almost immediately after
his death, with some sides proudly claiming him as one of their
very own, while others insisted he had never really been one of
them at all. To what tradition does Yeats belong? To what culture?
Was he Irish or Anglo-Irish, or even English? Was he a Romantic,
Symbolist or Modernist poet? A nationalist, fascist or a
postnationalist? This Guide follows the often heated debates on who
Yeats was and what kind of poetry he wrote. Michael Faherty offers
selections from the leading voices in these debates, setting them
in the context of Irish cultural and political history.
