A pioneering scholarly collection of essays outlining W.B. Yeats' reception and influence in Europe
Klaus Peter Jochum is Professor Emeritus of English Literature at the University of Bamberg.
"...an erudite and analytical work....re-asserts Yeats's unique but
secure place as a prominent European voice." - Elisabeth Muller,
Études Irlandaises
"The three chapters on the reception in Ireland concern a subject
of interest to those interested in Yeats. Eamonn Cantwell, Klaus
Peter Jochum, Nicholas Allen, and Jonathan Allison, the authors of
these sections, have all done really first-rate work before; it was
sensible to select them for this particular job. But their efforts
are hobbled to a degree by the guidelines to give a comprehensive
survey and to work with collaborators." - Adrian Frazier, English
Literature in Transition 1880-1920, 2008
"This valuable addition to the Athlone Critical Traditions Series:
The Reception of British and Irish Authors in Europe reveals more
clearly than ever how continental Europe has reciprocated Yeats's
ambivalence toward it...the chapters are comprehensive and lucid
while offering few critical judgments, which make them wonderful
sources of information...Scholars working on Yeats and translation
will find the volume essential." - Russell McDonald, Comparative
Literature Studies, 2008
*Russell McDonald*
"...one factual error requires correction: In his chapter on
Yeats's French reception, Bonafous-Murat quotes from an August 1896
review by Yeats's first French translator, Henry-D. Davray, and
then purports to find echoes of the review in Yeats's short story
‘Rose Alchemica,' which he says was ‘published by Yeats in 1897,
one year after Davray's review.'...'Rosa Alchemica' first appeared
not in 1897 but in April 1896 in Arthur Symon's magazine The Savoy,
making it impossible for Davray's review to have influenced Yeats.
This correction further supports the book's larger argument that
writers in continental Europe had little impact on Yeats's
thinking—a disappointing revelation for some scholars, but an
important one nonetheless that does nothing to detract from the
merits of this useful volume." - Russell McDonald, Comparative
Literature Studies, Vol. 45 No. 3, 2008
"...this volume is surely a valuable research tool for Yeatsian
scholars (not least because of its useful timeline and
bibliographies)." Modern Language Review 104:4 (Oct 2009)
"Useful, fact-filled book ... For experts and nonexperts alike
[these essays] offer concise, accurate, highly informative
summaries." David Holdeman, Modern Philology, 2010.
