Exploring W.B. Yeats and Irish Nationalism

This chapter dives into the views of poet W.B. Yeats on Irish nationalism and fascism. It discusses his famous poem 'The Second Coming' and his play 'The King's Threshold' which explores hunger strikes as a means of protest. The hosts contrast these ideas with the ineffectiveness of appealing to oppressors' moral sense and discuss the history and consequences of hunger strikes.
