Abstract
Like Yeats, Joyce found little usable tradition in Irish literature. He found the poetry of Mangan poignant but too confined by the political circumstance of its author. And he found the Celticism of Yeats and the other Celtic revivalists too ethereal. The artistic shortcomings of Mangan and the early Yeats seem to have been in Joyce's mind as he created the esthetic upon which his work would be based. But perhaps one Irish writer did prove a usable model. The peasant dramas of Synge, and discussion of literary esthetics with this slightly older contemporary, may have influenced Joyce to capture the concrete poetry of Dublin dialect.
