W. B YEATS AS A VECTOR TO CIRCUMSCRIBE FEMALE'S DUE PROFESSIONAL, PHYSICAL, AND INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY

Abstract

One of the best poets of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, W.B. Yeats is still   praised in today's pragmatic and technological society. Among the literary figures of his time, he held a prominent position. There is a wide debate going on whether women's position was marred by either the Victorian men and writers together, or by the modern poets who turned against women's actual position and misinterpreted their due intellectual power and social standing. W.B. Yeats seems to be hitting the intermediate position, partly remains under the influence of Maud Gonne where he swings from appreciating her to an implicitly deprecating          criticism on her beauty and mannerisms.
