Book Description
Excerpt from Ireland and the Home Rule Movement The great tendency which has been so marked a feature of Irish life in the course of the last decade to turn the attention of the people towards efforts at self improvement and the development of self-reliance without regard to English aid, English neglect, or English Opinion, excellent though it has been in every other respect, has had this one drawback - that there has grown up a generation of Englishmen, well intentioned towards our country, to whom the problems of Irish Government are an unknown quantity. The ignorance of Irish affairs in England is due partly to ourselves, but also to a natural heed lessness arising from distance and preoccupation with problems with which Englishmen are more intimately concerned.

Tumult of Images
Author: International Association for the Study of Anglo-Irish Literature. International Congress
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9789051837797
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
By showing that the meaning of the word politicscan be interpreted in various ways, the scope of the articles in Tumult of Images: Essays on W.B. Yeats and Politicsis extensive. Rather than explicitly analysing W.B. Yeats's political views and opinions about social order, several of the authors demonstrate how these ideas have determined the textual strategy behind Yeats's works. Thus we find, for instance, how Yeats's politics of myth subsume the myth of politics, or how his play The Player Queenis an expression of sexual and textual politics. Other essays revaluate Yeats's role in Ireland's Literary Renaissance or argue that his recruitment of Homer throughout his work was politically motivated. The volume also offers an ero-political reading of Yeats's ballads next to an analysis of the strategy behind that apocalyptic idea of gyring history. Tumult of Imagesalso deals with the politics of reception of Yeats's works by showing how the Irish poet has influenced South African poetry of the period of Apartheid, or by presenting the various ways in which the Japanese and the Dutch have become acquainted with the work of Yeats. The title of this volume thus reflects not only the many-sidedness of the discussions offered here but also their common contribution to an analysis of a fascinating aspect of Yeats's life and work.
