Yeats and his shadow are one of the most closely scrutinised pairs
in contemporary literary history. The meaning and significance
Yeats gave to the entity by which he was constantly pursued and
with which he held frequent colloquy have been held under the
critical microscope, and the shadow has emerged alternately as the
course of human history, the poet's alter-ego, his inner self, the
natural man, or as anything that Yeats wanted but believed himself
not to be. This title, first published in 1988, examines the
influence that Shelley had on Yeats and this 'shadow'. The study
concentrates primarily on the complex influence of Shelley's
Alastor on Yeats, tracing the problems it suggests and the
questions it raises from Yeats's early, highly imitative poems
through the austere, unromantic middle poems to the late poems
where Yeats sees himself as the "last of the romantics". This title
will be of interest to students of literature.
