Summary: The project intends to delineate and investigate the essentialcomponents of the developments within Irish poetry from Yeats tothe present day.The reading of the targeted body of texts aims tolay down the essential features of their poetics but also todetermine a number of characteristics which differentiate Irishliterature.One of the initial presuppositions of the analysis isthat the Irish example can be used to illustrate the ideology andconcrete workings of the relationship between a hegemonizingculture and what it suppresses or leaves out.

Keywords: Ireland,Ulster,Kavanagh,Devlin,Kinsella,Montague,MacNiece,Boland, Heanez,Mahon,Muldoon,Longlez,Paulin,Yeats, anxiety of influence,poetics,history,nationalism,decentering,decolonializati on

Research goals: The primary aim of the project, as the title states, is to discover what happened within Irish poetry after Yeats. Bringing before the Croatian public a little known body of poetic texts I hope to chart into the anonymous body of English literature a specific national tradition.My expectations are that the project will result in a body of translated poetical texts, a critical review of a vital segment of Irish cultural production which should function as a preparatory step for the introduction of Irish studies into the curriculum. On the theoretical level, the case of Ireland vividly illustrates the strategies of domination and resistance amongst cultures existing in a colonial relationship.
