Anthology spanning W. B. Yeats's poetry: from early poems inspired by Irish myth and folk tale and his unrequited love for Maud Gonne, to a phase marked by ideal beauty, the passage of time, and the conflict between the physical and the intellectual.

Suitable for readers of English poetry and for those approaching twentieth-century Irish literature.
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.
