Home 'Yeats's Stanzas, Yeats's Rooms' - Talk by Adam Hanna (Dept. of English, UCC) for the Rethinking Spatial Humanities cluster

‘Yeats’s Stanzas, Yeats’s Rooms’ – Talk by Adam Hanna (Dept. of English, UCC) for the Rethinking Spatial Humanities cluster

Jacopo Turini March 9, 2022 EVENTS, SPATIAL HUMANITIES

On March 23rd 2022, 3pm the cluster will host Adam Hanna’s (Department of English, UCC) talk ‘Yeat’s Stanzas, Yeat’s Rooms’.

The event will be preceded by a reading group on March 16th, 3pm.

 

Abstract

In ‘Yeats’s Stanzas, Yeats’s Rooms’, I suggest that some of the poetic forms that the poet frequently wrote in for the dozen-or-so years from 1919 — grand, architecturally constructed octave stanzas — give rise to the images that fill the stanzas themselves. Yeats’s most intensive engagement with these great forms is roughly coterminous with his occupation of a renovated medieval fortification in the rural west of Ireland, which he named Thoor Ballylee. In this paper, I follow the links between dwelling and writing and suggest that Yeats’s representation of his tower is intimately bound up with his employment of what he called ‘a traditional form’.
