YEATS W B - GEBRAUCHT COLLECTED POEMS OF WBYEAT...

W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist  mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary
Revival  Nobel prize winner  dramatist and  above all  poet. He began writing with the
intention of putting his 'very self' into his poems. T. S. Eliot  one of many who proclaimed
the Irishman's greatness  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'. For anyone interested in the literature of the late nineteenth century and the twentieth
century  Yeats's work is essential. This volume gathers the full range of his published poetry
from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics (by which he is still fondly remembered) to the
magnificent later poems which put beyond question his status as major poet of modern times.
Paradoxical  proud and passionate  Yeats speaks today as eloquently as ever.
