(Un)Masking Red Hanrahan: Reconsidering Yeats as a Short Story Writer(for the late Professor Daniel Albright)

Abstract

Confronted with the questions of why the study of Stories of RedHanrahan still remains a relatively uncharted territory in the field and whether thisoverdue interest in and scholarly inattention to the stories can ever symptomaticallypoint to a direction for a future Yeats studies to take, this article examines Yeats asa short story writer alongside the discussion of the stories. My argument here is thatRed Hanrahan stands in for Yeats as a poet who is feeling his way in his ownRomantic quest as a “rebel.” Such a poet is deeply rooted in the folkloric traditionbut recreates himself to be “modern,” “innovative,” and “shocking” as well. It is theway in which Yeats at once masks and unmasks Red Hanrahan, not completelysevered from the Irish communal folkloric tradition but figuring as a Romantic poetwho emerges at a moment of national crisis with his passionate intensity anduncompromising self-sacrifice that can redeem the sterility or loss of idealism of hisculture ? a central theme in the writings of his final years.

초록

예이츠연구에서소외된 레드한라한스토리 읽기를통해초기 예이츠문학의 면모와 이후 변화 발전하는 예이츠 시학의 뿌리를 살펴본다. 레드 한라한 스토리는 단순히아일랜드의 전승민담과 신화를바탕으로 민족주의자로서의 예이츠의 면모를 보여주기보다, 작가 개인의 창조적변용과끊임없이 변화하고 진화하는 예술적 재능을 보여주는예라 할 수 있다.
