Postcolonial Approach to Yeats’s Poems
Abstract
Yeats has been placed in many literary and hermetic societies. For theconstituencies of Yeats studies, the claiming Yeats as postcolonial can help renewattention to a poet who, often charged with antifeminism and reactionary politics,has been losing ground to postmodernism, antiformalism, and ethnic writing. Yeats'spostcolonization can strengthen the claim of Irish studies to be a player in thevibrant field of postcolonial studies. If we define the Easter Rising is the crucialmoment, "Easter, 1916" would qualify as postcolonial. If postcoloniality is construednot as after decolonialization but as since colonization, then Yeats is more easilyswept whole into the postcolonial canon, but so would be all kinds of Irishliterature since the early 20th century, perhaps stretching the term postcolonialbeyond use. So, we can have difficulties in defining Yeats as a postcolonial poet.
