Acquisition And Exhibition Of Classical Antiquities: Professional, Legal, And Ethical Perspectives

The first, "The Last Romantics," examines how Yeats repeats classic motifs and verbal formulations from his literary forebears in order to express the circumscribed cultural options with which he struggles. The essays in this section often uncover Yeats's relation to sources and precursors that are surprising or have been relatively neglected by scholars. The second section, "Yeats and Afterwords," looks at how Yeats subjects his own past sentiments, insights, and styles to critical negation, crafting his own afterwords in various ways. The last section, "Yeats's Aftertimes," explores how, thanks to the stature Yeats achieved through its invention, his style of belatedness itself comes to be reiterated by other writers. Yeats is a towering figure in literary history, hard to follow and harder to avoid, and later writers often found themselves producing words that were, in some sense, his afterwords. 9780268011208 0268011206 348 BOOK Literary Criticism NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=YQ6yoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
