Description
Nicholas Grene explores Yeats's poetic codes of practice, revealing how his poetry is shaped by distinctive stylistic signatures. This study focuses on the poet's technique, including typical forms and their implications for understanding the poems.
The author examines key features such as dates and place names within individual poems, handling of demonstratives and grammatical tense and mood, and recurring words and images like 'dream', 'bitter', 'sweet'.
By exploring these elements, Grene illustrates the complex movement between lived reality and transcendental thought in Yeats's poetry, highlighting its embodied quality that blends a phenomenal world with an imagined one.
