Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 19 AIL 1805 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Yeats Across the Boundary
Captions available
The idea
Yeats began publishing in the eighteen nineties and went on into the nineteen thirties, so he sits on the boundary unit eighteen called conventional. His early work belongs to one age and his late work to another, which makes him a useful case for that warning.
In practice
One poet, both sides of the line.
Where people slip
The boundary runs through him.
