| Publisher Description: This book goes beyond most studies of Yeats to probe the depths of this famous poet's visual imagination. In a thorough and decisive explanation, Nancy Watanabe covers Yeat's twenty-four major plays, analyzing the text for the poetic cinematographic, theocentric, cosmological, biotechnical, and dramatic elements of the poet's vision. She also contributes to the criticism of Yeats by establishing the various ways that the poet attempted to embrace all of the laws of human fate. Unique in her approach, Watanabe demonstrates how Yeats included his knowledge of Japanese religious theater, Victorian poetry, French symbolism, and American inventiveness. Readers of this book will gain not only a thorough knowledge of Yeat's poetry, but also a new way of looking at a widely studied poet. |
