Abstract
13 Haziran
1865’te İrlanda’da doğan William Butler Yeats dünyaca ünlü Nobel edebiyat ödüllü yazar ve şairdir. Aynı zamanda unutulmaz eserler yazan John
Millington Synge gibi diğer büyük yazarlara ilham veren bir oyun yazarı olarak
da bilinir. Kadın, ulus, Tanrı, toprak, özgürlük ve bağımsızlık şiirlerindeki
birkaç temadan bazılarıdır. İrlandalı devlet adamı William Butler Yeats’i editörleri William H. O’Donnell and Douglas
N. Archibald olan The Collected Works of
William Butler Yeats Vol. III: Autobiographies adlı yapıtı aracılığıyla farklı
bir bakış açısından değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Eser 1999 yılında New York’ta
Scribner tarafından yayınlanmıştır. Şairin yaşamını değerlendirmekte
belirleyici ölçüt olan Yanmetinsellik yaklaşımı Fransız edebiyat eleştirmeni
Gérard Genette’ ye aittir. Yanmetin metin çevresi ve yapıt çevresi olmak üzere
iki metinden oluşur. Kitabın içerisindeki her şey metin çevresi yanmetin
unsurudur ve kitap dışındaki her şey de yapıt çevresi yanmetin unsuru olarak
kabul edilir. Yapıt çevresi yanmetin unsuru bu çalışmanın odak noktası
olacaktır. Bazı çocukluk ve gençlik anıları anlatılacak ve yeni bir yaklaşım
olan yanmetinsellik yeni araştırmacılara tanıtılacaktır. Böylece diğer büyük
edebiyatçıların hayatları ve eserlerinin incelenmesine de katkı sağlayacaktır.

Abstract
William Butler Yeats who was born on 13th of June 1865 in
Ireland is world famous Nobel laureate poet and writer. He is also known as
playwright who wrote unforgettable works and inspired many other great
playwrights such as John Millington Synge to write plays. Love for woman,
nation, God, land, freedom and independence are some of themes in his poems.
The purpose of this study is to analyse Irish statesman, William Butler Yeats
from different perspective through the book The Collected Works of William
Butler Yeats Vol. III: Autobiographies whose editors are William H. O’Donnell
and Douglas N. Archibald. It was published in New York in 1999 by Scribner.
Paratextuality approach which is determining criteria for evaluating life of
the poet belongs to French literary critic Gérard Genette. Paratext is
comprised of two texts which are peritext and epitext. Peritext is everything
related within the book and epitext is accepted all the things outside of the
book. Epitext will be in the focus of the paper. Some reveries over his
childhood and youth will be told and a new approach which is paratextuality
will be introduced to new researchers. By this way, it may contribute to
analyse life and works of other great literary figures.
