초록
In the last few decades, Anglophone literary studies has been dominat- ed by identity-politics with its presupposition that we read in order to affirm our gender, nationality, or race. The nation-state, as Hannah Arendt and other historians have shown, has a limited history and a pre- carious future, endangered by the globalization of capital and communi- cations. Nonetheless the idea of national literature has dominated English studies since its inception. Yeats himself regarded nationality as inescapable, as if his hand was gloved in Ireland. However, he also reached out to the universe, and his transnational bent persisted from his early interest in French Symbolism to his multicultural transactions with the spirits of A Vision. The present essay belongs to a wider argument for writers without bor- ders, sans fron- tières. The first part of my essay therefore challenges the notion of national literature, using Joyce and Yeats as test cases. The sec- ond part performs a thought-experiment: what does Yeats look like if we take Ireland out of the picture? What might we gain or lose by situating Yeats’s work in the context of world-literature rather than the literature of Ireland alone.
Abstract
In the last few decades, Anglophone literary studies has been dominat- ed by identity-politics with its presupposition that we read in order to affirm our gender, nationality, or race. The nation-state, as Hannah Arendt and other historians have shown, has a limited history and a pre- carious future, endangered by the globalization of capital and communi- cations. Nonetheless the idea of national literature has dominated English studies since its inception. Yeats himself regarded nationality as inescapable, as if his hand was gloved in Ireland. However, he also reached out to the universe, and his transnational bent persisted from his early interest in French Symbolism to his multicultural transactions with the spirits of A Vision. The present essay belongs to a wider argument for writers without bor- ders, sans fron- tières. The first part of my essay therefore challenges the notion of national literature, using Joyce and Yeats as test cases. The sec- ond part performs a thought-experiment: what does Yeats look like if we take Ireland out of the picture? What might we gain or lose by situating Yeats’s work in the context of world-literature rather than the literature of Ireland alone.
