SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"In this study of three volumes of Yeats's poetry - In the Seven Woods, From 'The Green Helmet and Other Poems', and Responsibilities - Richard Greaves opposes the tendency to see this period in Yeats's career as the beginning of his transformation into a 'modernist' poet. By considering the poetry alongside Yeats's prose writing and correspondence and in its biographical, political and historical context, Greaves seeks to account for the undoubted transition in Yeats's poetry during this period in a different way. In this examination of the construction of the figure of Yeats within the poems and its relationship with the Yeats who exists outside them, the complex connections of work, life and milieu are revealed."--Jacket.
