THE PLACE OF IRISH LANDSCAPE IN THE POETRY OF WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the values of landscape in W. B. Yeats’s poetry. While the author is aware of the extraordinary complexity of Yeats’s work, the focused analysis offers important conclusions. Thus Yeats’s descriptive insistence on the Irish landscape, the divided roles of the rural versus the urban, the imaginary and the real, all these aspects point towards a desire to merge with the native Irish landscape, with the climactic moment of the final poem, with a testamentary value.
