A study of the relationship between literature and sculpture in the work of W. B. Yeats that draws on an extensive range of unpublished archival materials from the poet's early career in the late Victorian period, and across his entire oeuvre of poetry, plays, and critical writing.
This book comprehensively examines the relationship between literature and sculpture in the work of W. B. Yeats, drawing on extensive archival research to offer revelatory new readings of the poet. The book traces Yeats''s literary and critical engagement with Celtic Revival statuary, public monuments in Dublin, the coin designs of the Irish Free State, abstract sculpture by the Vorticists and modernists, and a variety of carvings, decorative sculptures, and objets d''art. By charting Yeats''s early art school education in Dublin, his attempts to raise funds for public monuments in the city, and to secure commissions for his favourite sculptors, the book documents a lifelong interest in the plastic arts. New and original readings of Yeats''s poetry, drama, and prose criticism emerge from this concertedly inter-arts and interdisciplinary study.
