Revisiting W.B. Yeats’s World and Art is a well-researched book occasioned by the poet’s 150th birth anniversary in 2015. This book is meant to be a tribute to the great poet W.B. Yeats from India by way of appreciation and admiration for him. Ten well-known Professors from India have analysed Yeats’s work from new angles. For instance, Yeats’s parallelism with Henry David Thoreau is both innovative and intensive in terms of scholarship and criticism. Purely Indian approach is exhibited in the application of Dhvani Theory to Yeats’s poetry. The Upanishadic concepts like ‘Shreyas’, ‘Preyas’, ‘Para’ and ‘Apara’ are employed to explicate Yeats’s poetry. Yeats’s political vision has been analysed vis-à-vis his poetry and plays. Yeats’s love has been the subject of some of the papers included in this volume. Finally, the question of personality and impersonality in Yeats’s poetry has been studied with insight. Above all, Yeats has been studied along with Eliot as an appropriate ending of the book. Professor Bijay Kumar Das has edited the book with an incisive ‘Introduction’ which unfolds a distinct Indian approach to W.B. Yeats. This is an invaluable book on W.B. Yeats’s poetry and plays in the twenty-first century.
