The Edinburgh Companion to W. B. Yeats and the Arts

W. B. Yeats was not only a poet but also a cultural revolutionary. A compulsive, restless collaborator, he fostered numerous artistic enterprises, from the Abbey Theatre to the Cuala Press, and pursued a variety of inter-artistic spaces and media. From childhood co-creations with his siblings to the arresting combinations of sound and movement in his late drama, his work repeatedly addresses and incorporates music, dance, and the visual, material and theatrical arts with remarkable intensity. For him, literature was a vital thing that in one form or another engaged all the senses. This volume's newly commissioned chapters analyse afresh such engagements. Bringing together scholars of literature, aesthetics and cultural history with specialists in drama, music, dance and the visual arts, they provide an exciting range of historical, conceptual and disciplinary perspectives.
