Mr. Whitaker gives us the authoritative account of Yeats's flirtation with cyclical, alchemical, and apocalypticmillennial theories of historical progress, from the early apocalyptic romances to the schematic clarity of Dove and Swan and the absolute control of the contrapuntal perspective in the late poems . . . What can a swan need but a swan? his shadow. Swan and Shadow leads us along a path which is obvious enough, but which has never been traveled in such masterful detail. GEOFFREY HARTMAN, The Yale Review History was central, in a variety of ways, to Yeats's poetic development and to the meaning of his work. It was to him a mysterious interlocutor, which Yeats saw at times as a bright reflection of himself and again as a dark force opposed to that self. Swan and Shadow is an examination of William Butler eats's dialogue with history and of his central belief that the acceptance of history is at one with freedom and creativity. This new edition, with an entirely new preface, is the first volume of Critical Studies in Irish Literature, a new series dedicated to the reissuance of major works of criticism on the great Irish writers. Thomas R. Whitaker is professor of English at Yale University. He has served on the expository writing committee of the prestigious Iowa creative writing program.
