What image of Ireland is Yeats representing in The Stolen child?
In some ways The Stolen Child can be seen as a reaction against the modern and rational nostalgia for a pre-industrial past in Ireland.
Yeats establishes many settings in Sligo, Ireland in the Stolen Child. There are constant name droppings like Sleuth wood, Rosses and Glen-car.This gives the poem a sense of place and make it more authentic.

He is mocking them in some way and acting immature or insensitive towards them.
Over all this poem tells us that Yeats is nostalgic for a lost Ireland. However this is written at a time when he was...
