Cover -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- List of Illustrations -- Introduction -- 1 National Tales and National Futures in Ireland and Scotland after 1800 -- 2 The First Romantics: Young Irelands between Catholic Emancipation and the Famine -- 3 Lost in the Big House: Anglo-Irishry and the Uses of the Supernatural -- 4 Oisin Comes Home: Yeats as Inheritor -- Notes -- Works Cited and Consulted -- Sources for Illustrations -- Index -- A -- B -- C -- D -- E -- F -- G -- H -- I -- J -- K -- L -- M -- N -- O -- P -- R -- S -- T -- U -- V -- W -- Y.
Summary: Yeats is usually seen as a great modernist innovator. This book goes against the grain to explore the Irish literary traditions that preceded and influenced him--romantic 'national tales' in post-Union Ireland, the poetry and polemic of the Young Ireland movement, the occult novels of Sheridan LeFanu, and William Carleton's 'peasant fictions'.
