This paper makes a comparison between Wordsworth and Yeats by studying some of the poems in Wordsworth’s Lyrical Ballads and Yeats’s middle poems. They liberate English poetry from the limiting poetic conventions. Wordsworth denounced the upper-class subjects and artificial rules and conventions and took materials from common people and their lives and shed the affluent and natural feelings in natural language. For Yeats some turning points came at the beginning of the twentieth centuries. By 1901 and 1902 he was beginning to idealize a revised feminine archetype in plays and poems. As Yeats emphasizes the spoken words, this paper focuses on his middle poems, including In the Seven Woods (1904), The Green Helmet and Other Poems (1910), and Responsibilities (1914).
Abstract
This paper makes a comparison between Wordsworth and Yeats by studying some of the poems in Wordsworth’s Lyrical Ballads and Yeats’s middle poems. They liberate English poetry from the limiting poetic conventions. Wordsworth denounced the upper-class subjects and artificial rules and conventions and took materials from common people and their lives and shed the affluent and natural feelings in natural language. For Yeats some turning points came at the beginning of the twentieth centuries. By 1901 and 1902 he was beginning to idealize a revised feminine archetype in plays and poems. As Yeats emphasizes the spoken words, this paper focuses on his middle poems, including In the Seven Woods (1904), The Green Helmet and Other Poems (1910), and Responsibilities (1914).
