Recenzii
'This book is much more than an important re-reading of Yeats. Marjorie Howes has so intelligently addressed the nexus of relationships between nationality, gender and class that she has effected a rereading of modern Irish writing in general. We have here an exemplary instance of the mutually enriching engagement between theoretical inquiry and the close reading of literary texts.' Seamus Deane
'When a critical text can … show me something new, complex, and interesting about the writer, give me a new understanding of the ways in which both his positive and negative qualities work together, I'm delighted. Marjorie Howes's new book, Yeats's Nations: Gender, Class, and Irishness, does just that, showing me this eccentric relation in a new light.' Mary Donnelly, James Joyce Literary Supplement
'A 'revised' Yeats is the constant and fascinating focus of this study.' Shaun Richards, Bullán
'Provides a much needed reappraisal of the connection between nationality and gender, and illustrates it with fascinating reference to Yeats's life, work, and his relationship with Ireland's turbulent history.' Julia Cook, Manuscript
