What is W. B. Yeats : A Critical Introduction about?

This chief aim of this title, first published in 1965, is to present a comprehensive picture of Yeats’s achievement and some of the means for an evaluation of that achievement. To this end both the poems and plays have been examined and some of Yeats’s critical ideas have been briefly discussed. Professor Rajan’s study provides a compact introduction to Yeats’s work, and will be of interest to the general reader as well as to students of literature. ** Cover 1 Half Title 2 Title 4 Copyright 5 Original Title 6 Original Copyright 7 Contents 8 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 9 Foreword 10 1 The Reality Within 12 2 The Island and Lost Souls 22 3 The Dream-burdened Will 31 4 In the Theatre 48 5 Towards Responsibilities 68 6 Metaphors for Poetry 83 7 Four Plays for Dancers 97 8 Dancer and Swan 110 9 Tower and Stair 127 10 The Severed Heads 159 11 An Old Man's Frenzy 174 12 The Completed Symbol 191 A Select Reading List 196 General Index 204 Index to Yeats' Work 208
