W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet. 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." 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 from a major poet of modernity.
