The Annual International Yeats Society Conference: Yeats and Eros / Yeats and Paris

The Annual International Yeats Society Conference: Yeats and Eros / Yeats and Paris invite reappraisals of Yeats’s manifold and often unconventional explorations of the erotic in all its guises. The conference address the ways in which he toys with and renews the conventions of love poetry the embodied representations of desire on the stage, in speech, song or dance the space Yeats makes throughout his oeuvre for the visibility and audibility of unorthodox desires the erotics of delay and frustration on page and stage. Equally of interest are biographically-oriented papers investigating, for instance, the erotics of collaboration in the writing of A Vision, or indeed in all of Yeats’s collaborative ventures with fellow artists, writers, and performers of both genders.
