This accessible and thought-provoking Companion is designed to help
students experience the pleasures and challenges offered by one of
the twentieth century's greatest poets. A team of international
contributors examine Yeats's poetry, drama and prose in their

engagement with Ireland, his complicated relationship to the
English literary tradition, his literary, social, and political
criticism and the evolution of his complex spiritual and religious
sense. First-time readers of Yeats as well as more advanced
scholars will welcome this comprehensive account of Yeats's career
with its useful chronological outline and survey of the most
important current trends in Yeats scholarship. Taken as a whole,
this Companion comprises an essential introduction for students and
teachers of Yeats.
