The article focuses on the elegiac legacy of William Butler Yeats as discussed in W. H. Auden's "In Memory of W.B. Yeats." Auden compared Yeats' elegy, "In Memory of Major Robert Gregory" and Percy B. Shelley's "Adonais" in his essay, "Yeats As An Example." Auden focused on the dynamics of artistic inheritance and the reaction of Yeats to the work of other poets, living and dead. Irish poet Seamus Heaney's 1978 lecture "Yeats As An Example?" showed his opinion on what he finds exemplary in Yeats' bearing. |
