Abstract:
W.B. Yeats the famous Anglo Irish poet and dramatist was accused of a lack of sense of nationalism. His achievements in the reviving of the Irish culture as a means to establish a dependent Irish identity was regarded with suspicions simply due to his being a descendant of Anglo -Irish origins.In this light, the study comes to shed light on Yeats’ tremendous achievements concerning his sense of nationalism and his role in the reviving Irish culture. Also, the study aims at refuting the charges against Yeats which considered him as a representative of the colonizer’s class. Finally, the study proved that Yeats revealed a mature vision of nationalism which most of his contemporaries failed to notice since they only focused on one aspect of Irish identity and neglected the other; in discussing the Irish question, they were either politicians or culturalists. Whereas Yeats shows a higher degree of awareness as he believed that establishment of an identical distinctive Irish identity must be done with having both the cultural and the national elements united in one word that is “Irishness." His national creed is rooted in a kind of cohesion between culture and nationalism. It is this conclusion that not only refuted the charges againstYeats’ nationalism but also put him in a position superior to any other Irish Nationalists.

Abstract:
This study addresses the issue of William Butler Yeats' use of Upanishad philosophy in his poetry. Although many analyses of Yeats' art vis-a-vis Eastern religion exist, none offer the thesis that the poet transformed certain religious concepts for his own purpose, thereby removing those concepts from the purview of Eastern religion. Quite the contrary, many of the analyses argue a parallel between Yeats' poetry and the religious concepts.In Chapter 1 this study gives a brief overview of the problem and proposes the thesis that instead of paralleling Eastern religious concepts, Yeats transformed those concepts; such transformations result in ideas which run counter to the yogic goal as expounded in the Upanishads.Chapter 2 summarizes yogic sources which help elucidate the concepts of Upanishad thought. Also Chapter 2 introduces various the critical analyses which present inaccurate conclusions regarding Yeats' use of Eastern religion.Chapter 3 explains certain Eastern religious concepts such concepts as karma and reincarnation and asserts that the goal of the discipline of yoga is self-realization.Chapter 4 discusses the poems of Yeats' canon which have been analyzed critically in terms of Eastern religious concepts and have erroneously been considered to parallel certain Eastern concepts. This chapter argues that Yeats' transformations resulted in an art which is chiefly based on the physical level of being, whereas the goal of yogic discipline places its chief emphasis on the spiritual level of being. Also it is argued that Yeats cultivated imagination, whereas the Eastern religious devotee cultivates intuition.Chapter 5 details the critical analyses which have erroneously argued the Yeatsian parallel to Eastern religion, showing how these critics have sometimes failed to understand concepts adequately and thus have misapplied them to Yeats' art.Chapter 6 contrasts Yeats' poetry with that of Rabindranath Tagore. Yeats failed to realize Tagore's motivation when Tagore referred to God. Yeats claimed that all reference to Cod was vague and that he disliked Tagore's mysticism. This lack of understanding on Yeats' part, I suggest, further supports the thesis that Yeats' use of Eastern religion constitutes transformations which do not reflect Upanishad philosophy but instead reflect a Yeatsian version of those concepts--a version which many critics have not clearly elucidated.

This thesis has as its object of study three modalities of the uncanny as they appear in the poetry of Irish writer William Butler Yeats. They are: the incidence of the Double, the contact with the Deads, their way of operation in the metaphysical sphere as well as in the world of the Living, and the Animist way of thinking which embraces the omnipotence of thought. We believe that this is possible to be theoretically thought and analyzed through the ideas presented by Sigmund Freud in his essay titled The uncanny ( Das Unheimliche ), edited in 1919. In order to help our discussion of the problem, we used some considerations from French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. For example, what he exposes in his seminar dedicated to the anxiety and in his essay on the mirror stage . Many important ideas and concepts from literary critics such as T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Tzvetan Todorov, Emil Staiger, Joseph Warren Beach, Ezra Pound, among others, were also used as basis for the development of our discussion on the theme of the strangeness (uncanny) in the frontiers between literature and psychoanalysis. The thought of Friedrich Nietzsche also helped us to understand the concept that Yeats developed and used of tragic joy and the relationship of the poet with the tragic thinking, discussed by the German philosopher and which influenced the work of the Irish writer. This influence made possible, in the poetry Yeats wrote, appear an aspect of absurdity, of ambition for being assimilated in the chorus of the tragedy visible, for instance, in the chapter about the Double and that we can find in his most important poems.
Esta dissertação tem, como objeto de estudo, três modalidades do estranho na poesia do escritor irlandês William Butler Yeats. São elas: a incidência do Duplo, o contato com os Mortos, o modo de operação deles, tanto no âmbito metafísico quanto no mundo dos Vivos, e o modo de pensar Animista que abarca a onipotência de pensamento. Acreditamos que isso é possível de ser teoricamente pensado e estudado a partir das ideias apresentadas por Sigmund Freud, em seu ensaio O estranho ( Das Unheimliche ), publicado em 1919. Para auxiliar nossa discussão do problema, utilizamos algumas considerações do psicanalista francês Jacques Lacan. Por exemplo, o que ele expõe em seu seminário dedicado à angústia e no seu ensaio sobre o estádio do espelho . Muitas ideias e conceitos importantes de críticos literários como T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Tzvetan Todorov, Emil Staiger, Joseph Warren Beach, Ezra Pound, entre outros, foram também utilizados como base para o desenvolvimento de nossa discussão sobre o tema do estranho, nas fronteiras entre a literatura e a psicanálise. O pensamento de Friedrich Nietzsche também ajudou-nos a entender o conceito que Yeats desenvolveu e usou de alegria trágica e a relação do poeta com o pensamento trágico, discutido pelo filósofo alemão e que influenciou a obra do escritor irlandês. Isso possibilitou, na poesia que Yeats escreveu, aparecer um aspecto de absurdidade, de ambição por assimilar-se ao coro da tragédia visível, por exemplo, no capítulo sobre o duplo e que podemos encontrar em seus mais importantes poemas.

Abstract:
This essay aims to find a correlation between the poetry of William Butler Yeats and the social-cultural context of its time-period. With the aid of conceptual history, representations of fundamental concepts can be revealed in the written text. The methodological approach is based on Reinhart Koselleck's Begriffsgeschichte where concepts are used for timing history. The two concepts in focus in the essay are 'crisis' and 'the Golden Age'. The results found in the analysis of Yeats' poems displayed to a high amount the representation of the concept of 'crisis', revealing that crisis in the society at that time is reflected in Yeats' poems, but representations of the counter-concept 'the Golden Age' was only partly found in poems from his later collections. A suggestion for further research is to perform a study where several contemporary poets are investigated simultaneously with the aid of conceptual history.

Abstract:
En suivant l'évolution des croyances de William Butler Yeats à travers ses écrits, cette étude a pour but de révéler l'interprétation occulte et mystique qu'ils renferment et de mettre en évidence l'interaction du cheminement initiatique de l'adepte et du processus de création de l'artiste. Cette analyse chronologique vise à montrer que la mythologie – irlandaise et grecque – participe de sa quête spirituelle et artistique. Elle retrace le développement de la pensée de Yeats ainsi que l'élaboration de son système à travers ses créations littéraires en dévoilant comment ses pratiques occultes et les enseignements dispensés par des sociétés secrètes telles que la Golden Dawn se mêlèrent aux croyances irlandaises et envahirent progressivement l'œuvre de Yeats. L'hypothèse étant que sa quête d'accomplissement mystique et d'aboutissement littéraire ne pouvait se réaliser si l'un des deux échouait, l'objectif est de démontrer que le dessein et le travail artistique de Yeats sont indissociables de ses croyances, de ses pratiques magiques et de son évolution mystique
This study sets out to uncover the occult and mystical aspect of Yeats's writings and to reveal the interaction between the initiation of the Adept and the creative process of the artist. This chronological analysis intends to show that mythology – both Irish and Greek – played a part in his spiritual and artistic quest. It thus traces the development of Yeats's thought as well as the elaboration of his system through his literary creations by revealing how his occult practices and the teachings of secret societies such as the Golden Dawn merged with Irish beliefs and gradually pervaded Yeats's work. The hypothesis being that his quest for mystical attainment and artistic accomplishment could not be fulfilled if one of them failed, the aim is to demonstrate that his artistic work and ideal are closely linked to his beliefs, his magical practices and his mystical evolution

While the impact of Darwin's theory of evolution on Victorian and modernist literature has been well-documented, very little critical attention has been paid to the influence of Lamarckian evolutionary theory on literary portrayals of human progress during this same period. Lamarck's theory of inherited acquired characteristics provided an attractive alternative to the mechanism and materialism of Darwin's theory of natural selection for many writers in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, particularly those who refused to relinquish the role of the individual will in the evolutionary process. Lamarckian rhetoric permeated an ideologically diverse range of discourses related to progress, including reproduction, degeneration, race, class, eugenics, education, and even art. By analyzing the literary texts of Olive Schreiner, G.B. Shaw, and W.B. Yeats alongside their polemical writing, I demonstrate how Lamarckism inflected these writers' perceptions of the mechanism of human evolution and their ideas about human progress, and I argue that their work helped to sustain Lamarck's cultural influence beyond his scientific relevance. In the dissertation's introduction, I place the work of these three writers in the context of the Neo-Darwinian and Neo-Lamarckian evolutionary debates in order to establish the scientific credibility and cultural attractiveness of Lamarckism during this period. Chapter II argues that Schreiner creates her own evolutionary theory that rejects the cold, competitive materialism inherent in Darwinism and builds upon Lamarck's mechanism, modifying Lamarckism to include a uniquely feminist emphasis on the importance of community, motherhood, and self-sacrifice for the betterment of the human race. In Chapter III, I demonstrate that Shaw's "metabiological" religion of Creative Evolution, as portrayed in Man and Superman and Back to Methuselah , is not simply Bergsonian vitalism repackaged as a Neo-Lamarckian evolutionary theory but, rather, a uniquely Shavian theory of human progress that combines religious, philosophical, and political elements and is thoroughly steeped in contemporary evolutionary science. Finally, Chapter IV examines the interplay between Yeats's aesthetics and his anxieties about class in both his poetry and his 1939 essay collection On the Boiler to show how Lamarckian modes of thought inflected his understanding of degeneration and reproduction and eventually led him to embrace eugenics.
