    Yeats Realistic Poet

    Uploaded by

    Yeats started his poetic career as a Romantic poet but soon evolved into a realistic modern poet in response to World War I and the Irish turmoil of the time. This transition began with his 1914 collection Responsibilities, which included poems showcasing his modernist style like "September 1913" and "The Second Coming." After becoming disillusioned with Maud Gonne and Irish nationalism, Yeats wrote more bitter, pessimistic poems philosophizing about modern man's disillusionment and fears that the 20th century would be devoid of culture, morality, and meaning.

    Yeats, a realistic poet

    Yeats,as he started his poetic career as a Romantic poet and the Raphaelite,
    he very soon involved into a genuine modern poet. All this is as a response of the
    new world together with the WWI as well as the Irish turmoil of that time and
    likely changed him from a dreamer,thinker to a realistic poet. This period all
    begun with his collection of Responsibilities (1914). The poem September 1913
    is hallmark of Yeats modernist style as well as The Second Coming in his line
    the best lack all conviction while the worst all full of passionate intensity. After
    his disappointment with Maud Gonne and his disenchantment with the Irish
    National Movement he started writing more bitter and pessimistic poems and by
    philosophizing in them: To a Shade, When Helen Lived, and Two Byzantium poems
    etc.In Easter 1916 he highlights the disillusionment of modern man when he says
    What it is but night fall. Yeats was modern and traditional at the same time.
    Yeats`s later poetry expresses the fear that in our century culture and moral
    values will die and that the world will become filled with with selfishness,violence
    and meaninglessness.
