Yeats, Revival, and the Temporalities of Irish Modernism

Yeats, Revivalism, and the Temporalities of Irish Modernism offers a new understanding of a writer whose revivalist commitments are often regarded in terms of nostalgic yearning and dreamy romanticism. It counters such conventions by arguing that Yeats's revivalism is an inextricable part of his modernism. Gregory Castle provides a new reading of Yeats that is informed by the latest research on the Irish Revival and guided by the phenomenological idea of worldmaking, a way of looking at literature as an aesthetic space with its own temporal and spatial norms, its own atmosphere generated by language, narrative, and literary form. The dialectical relation between the various worlds created in the work of art generate new ways of accounting for time beyond the limits of historical thinking. It is just this worldmaking power that links Yeats's revivalism to his modernism and constructs new grounds for recognizing his life and work.

In Modernism and the Celtic Revival, Gregory Castle examines the impact of anthropology on the work of Irish Revivalists such as W. B. Yeats, John M. Synge and James Joyce. Castle argues that anthropology enabled Irish Revivalists to confront and combat British imperialism. Castle shows how Irish Modernists employed textual and rhetorical strategies first developed in anthropology to translate, reassemble, and edit oral and folk-cultural material. Drawing on a wide range of postcolonial theory, this book should be of interest to scholars in Irish studies, postcolonial studies, and Modernism.

Excerpt from Castle Gregory: A Story of the Western Reserve Woods in the Olden TimesCovered with one of the heaviest and most beautiful forests of the middle of the conti nent, with an abundant rain fall and small evaporation, both bore twice the volume of water to the parent lake that now finds its passage in their shrunken channels.An old Indian trail crossed the Cuyahoga at a point near its bend remotest from the coast, extending from points on the lake to the native villages in the interior. Just above the crossing, on the northern bank, was the scene of my history, which, though it te counts incidents of the earliest of pioneer days, is idyllic somewhat, and touches few of the more stri...
