A comparison between Yeats’ use of classical myth and the Celtic myth in Robin Robertson’s poetry

I need to write a paper comparing

the use of classical myths by W.B. Yeats and the Celtic myths of Robin Robertson’s poetry. I need to primarily work on Yeats’ “Leda and the Swan” and Robertson’s “At Roane Head”. This paper should discuss the background differences from which Yeats and Robertson individually come from (time and culture), which influence their (different) choice of myth types. Since Yeats was involved in the Celtic Revival in Ireland, he used the classical, popular myth “Leda and the Swan” in his poem to enable the reader understand his criticism of the English occupation. Robin Robertson, on the other hand, uses a Celtic, localised myth in his poem “At Roane Head,” since over the last 30 years poetry has become localized, representing the voice of the minority. Through the use of a localised myth (the myth on the Selkie), Robertson popularizes this voice. That is, because in order to understand Robertson’s poem one must enter the Celtic world and be familiar with the story about the Selkie.

Please see the attached file. It consists of the two pages that I’ve written so far. I’d like you to continue and develop my paper from where I stopped, but there’s not need to contact me if it’s impossible. However, I’d appreciate that if you could try.
