N2  - This anthology brings together some of the relatively more stimulating and refreshing studies done on W. B. Yeats's poetry during the last fifteen years. It carries essays which revaluate the larger issues concerning Yeats's work and thought in terms of recent critical theories and ideological perspectives, as also those which offer close critical readings of the poet's  individual poems.
The critical discourse in these essays, at once sophisticated and perspective, focuses, among others, on an alternative reading of Yeats's poetry from feminist viewpoint, his 'quarrel with modernism', his affinity with post-symbolist poetry, the pre-occupation with his Irish identity, and the phenomenon of violence in his later politics and poetry. No less does it help tracing the subtle but telling parallels between Yeats and Bakhtin as well as between Teats and 'the Hamlet Mask.' It also offers, in equal measure, detailed and discerning critical attention to the poems, including "The Tower," " The Second Coming", "Among school children", "Ledaa and the Swan," "The wild swans at coole," "Easter 1916," "Adam's curse," and "Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen." The volume is designed to benefit the Yeats scholar as much as the common intelligent reader
