    If Yeats comes up tomorrow, I expect the question to be something like "Yeats is one of the most widely read poets of the 20th century. Examine the features of his poetry that have led to him being widely read and renowned"

    What topics would you discuss for that? I don't think it would suffice to just his themes and his use of language.

    All I have prepared is a personal response, really.
    I suppose you could talk about him using the themes of old age, patriotism, love of nature and stuff.
    Innisfree has some nice imagery too, if I can remember.

    I have some really good stuff prepared on his mastery of the poetic arts so here's hoping he's on the paper tomorrow!
