Book Description:
|
William Butler Yeats was Ireland's leading poet, chief architect of the Irish Literary Revival, and, according to T.S. Eliot, 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. In this study, David Pierce offers a perspective that attends as much to Yeats's English contexts as his Irish ones, and to the preoccupations of his art.
