Abstract/Contents

Abstract: By leveraging close readings of several poems from W. B. Yeats—most notably “The Second Coming”—this paper explores both the accord and opposition of authorial notions in Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault. Championing the relevance of authorial intent via the framework of Foucault’s notions of discourse, this work applies a historical-bibliographical criticism to the discourse surrounding Yeats and his immediate social environ.
