This anthology presents a rich selection of 134 poems by the renowned Irish poet William Butler Yeats, primarily drawn from six volumes published between 1889 and 1914. The poems explore mythical themes and other topics with mastery, including titles such as "The Stolen Child", "Down by the Salley Gardens", "The Lake Isle of Innisfree", and "When You Are Old". This collection offers readers a representative sample of Yeats' distinctive voice, characterized by its romanticism, longing, and the magic and mysticism Yeats absorbed in his youth in the west of Ireland, balanced with an anguished realism rooted in his nationalist and political sympathies.
William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet, dramatist, writer and literary critic who was one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival and, along with John Millington Synge and Lady Gregory, founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its early years. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature and later served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State.
