Yeats and the Poetry of Death by Jahan Ramazani

Yeats and the Poetry of Death by Jahan Ramazani

This argues that the effort to create and recreate death is a major impulse of Yeats' poetry. The writer balances genre criticisms with close revisionist readings of individual poems and traces interrelations between the lyrics and the traditions that inspired them.
