Abstract
W. B. Yeats is one of the major foreign writers of the early twentieth century, who has lasting influence upon Chinese literature and is now a central object in Chinese literary research. China’s Yeats scholarship can be roughly divided into three phases―the May 4th Movement period through the 1940s; the 1980s; the period since the 1990s, through which symbolism is always a major topic. Pu Durong’s monograph W. B. Yeats’s Aesthetics of Symbols in Poetry (2006) forms a milestone in this field. Systematically sorting out the poet’s symbolist statements and offering a constructive exploration for the sources of symbolism and an inspiring analysis of the aesthetic mechanism of symbolism in his work, this monograph not only presents a summary of Chinese scholarship on Yeats’s symbolism but also proves to be a big step forward in the world Yeats scholarship.
