Words alone : W.B. Yeats and Irish literary traditions in the nineteenth century
Foster, R. F. (Robert Fitzroy), 1949-2011
Book
Yeats is usually seen as a great modernist innovator. This book goes against the grain to explore the Irish literary traditions that preceded and influenced him - romantic 'national tales' in post-Union Ireland, the poetry and polemic of the Young Ireland movement, the occult novels of Sheridan LeFanu, and William Carleton's 'peasant fictions'.
