This book focuses on W. B. Yeats's critical writings, an aspect of
his oeuvre which has been given limited treatment so far. It traces
his critical work from his earliest articles, through to his occult
treatises, and all the way to his last pamphlets, in which he
sought to delineate the idea of a literary culture: a community of
people willing to credit poetry with the central role in imagining
and organising social praxis throughout society. The chapters of
this study investigate the contexts in which Yeats's thought
developed, his many disputes over the shape of Irish cultural
politics, the future of poetry and the place literature occupies in
the world. What transpires is an image of Yeats who is strung
between the impulses of faith in the existence of a supernatural
order and ironic scepticism as to the possibility of ever capturing
that order in language. This study is distinguished by its
grounding of Yeats's critical agenda in a broader context through
textual analysis. In addition, it organises and systematises his
conceptions of poetry and its social role through its approach to
his criticism as a fully-fledged area of his artistic practice. The
monograph has been written within the framework of the project
financed by The National Science Centre, Cracow, Poland, pursuant
to the decision number DEC-2013/09/D/HS2/02782.
