Yeats and Pessoa: Parallel Poetic Styles

by Patricia Silva-McNeill

Overview

This monograph is the study of the poetry of Fernando Pessoa and W. B. Yeats within a comparative case studies framework. It examines Yeats's and Pessoa's use of stylistic variation to transform their incipient neo-Romantic and post-Symbolist diction into a protean modern lyric voice.
