CONSTRUCTING NATIONAL IDENTITY: W. B. YEATS’ POETRY

Öz:

Yeats is the most prominent devotee and initiator of the Irish Literary Revival in the early 20th century. Irishness/Irish culture was a theme he handled since his early ages. His poetic themes ranging from love to the art of poetry are preoccupied with the theme of Irishness reinforced with images and stories from Irish/Celtic mythologies and present Irish sites. Yeats’ praxis of mythic/past elements together with Irish sites in his poetic universe creates bondage between old and present Irishness. Hence his poetry is turned into a declaration of opinions and intentions on an idealized Irish culture. This study aims at presenting how Yeats is manifesting an ideology to fight for a heritage and national identity by visiting Irish and Celtic mythologies as well as current Irish sites, thus creating a performative discourse in his poetry that promotes conceptual and practical understanding of Irishness to be exercised.
