Modern Poetry (ENGL 310) with Langdon Hammer • The early poetry of William Butler Yeats is read and interpreted with particular attention paid to Yeats's ambitions as a specifically Irish poet. Yeats's commitment to a poetry of symbol is explored in The Song of the Wandering Aengus, a fable of poetic vocation. A Coat, composed at the end of Yeats's struggle to bring about an Irish national theater, shows the poet reconceiving his style and in search of a new audience. The Fisherman is read as a revision of The Song of the Wandering Aengus which reflects this new set of concerns. • 00:00 - Chapter 1. Introduction: William Butler Yeats • 06:28 - Chapter 2. W. B.
