@article{2017,title={YEATS’ THE LAND OF HEART’S DESIRE: A MYSTICAL READING},abstractNode={William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) is generally regarded as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century in English and Irish literatures. Though Yeats is known as a world renowned poet he also wrote some plays as well. His poetry is full of symbols depicting common and ordinary life and familiar traditions of Irish culture. His plays deal with mysticism, esoteric and non-realistic dramatic styles as well. This paper examines mysticism and mystical elements used in The Land of Heart’s Desire as in line with Irish legends and mythology. It also deals with Yeats’ love of his Irish homeland and the various myths and legends concerning fairies and a kind of fairy land in which humans are tempted to enter. The clashes of real and fancy worlds have been displayed with reference to the Irish myths.},author={Ömer ŞEKERCİ},year={2017},journal={International Journal of Language Academy}}
