With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex.

W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, 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.

Duc Van Nguyen – 23.05.2005

– I noen tilfeller kreves det en mannsalder å skrive seg gjennom sine vonde, nagende, borende følelser knyttet til minner og opplevelser om sin første kjærlighet. For, å elske er å blottlegge sjelen sin for et annet menneske, og hvis vedkommende ikke "...vandrer på meg som du vandrer på drømmer...", kan det bli varige avtrykk i sjelen. Ved siden av alle følelsesnyanser knyttet til astronomisk kjærlighetslengsel omskriver Yeats også irske myter. Da tryller han frem vakre, romantiske landskap og lar oss møte "Eire´s" store menn og landets minneverdige kvinner gjennom historien.
Liker du Garbord, liker du Yeats.
