In the opinion of many critics, Yeats is the greatest poet of the twentieth century. He is without question the greatest Irish poet. His work has influenced all who have come after him both in Ireland and throughout the English-speaking world.
In this beautifully designed and produced gift book, we get a selection of over seventy of Yeats’s best loved poems. These are complemented by a wide range of paintings, prints and drawings, the majority by Irish or Irish-based artists and often artists who were contemporaries of the poet. Many of the pictures can be seen in Irish public collections, particularly the National Gallery of Ireland.
Complete with a detailed introduction and brief notes on the artists, this is the perfect gift for any Yeats fan.
William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, in his later years he served as an Irish Senator for two terms.
