People are all familiar with Yeats's touching love poem "When You Are Old," but when Yeats first became known to the Chinese in the 1920s, he was a member of the Irish National Renaissance Movement and deeply influenced China's modern drama movement and poetry creation. The multifaceted Yeats requires multi-dimensional perspectives to examine. This book interprets and studies Yeats's poetry, drama and literary theory from multi-dimensional perspectives such as postcolonial cultural theory, postcolonial translation theory, postcolonial ecocriticism, postcolonial feminism, Orientalism, cosmopolitanism and comparative literature, presenting to readers Yeats who is a poet, dramatist and cultural nationalism fighter. Through this investigation, Yeats's diverse creations have a unified point of observation, and his well-known works also take on new meanings.
