The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats
W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner and, above all, poet. He desired and succeeded to put his ‘very self’ into his poems. T. S. Eliot described him as ‘one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them’. If you’re interested in the literature of the late nineteenth and the twentieth century, Yeats’s work is essential. This volume includes all of of his published poetry, from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics to the magnificent later poems.
