Words Alone

Auteur: Foster, R. F. (Carroll Professor of Irish History, University of Oxford)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
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'.
