Yeats and Violence

ISBN: 9780199557660 出版年：2011 页码：260 Wood, Michael Oxford University Press

What happens when civilization crumbles? What apocalyptic events wait in the wings? These are the questions asked by Yeats's poem 'Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen'. Michael Wood explores the life of this poem through its form and historical context, examining how it seeks to make sense of a chaotic world whilst preserving the disorder of experience.
