The author's achievement in this masterly biography is to show, for
the first time, the symbiotic relationship between Yeats's
Protestant nationalism and his interest in the occult. This first
volume covers the first 50 years of the poet's life, focusing on
his actions rather than his writings, his membership of the Golden
Dawn and his complicated relationship with Maud Gonne. It is
beautifully written, well illustrated and handsomely produced.
No-one who wants to understand the mind of one of the century's
towering literary figures can afford to ignore this work. (Kirkus
UK)
In this acclaimed new biography, Roy Foster describes Yeats's progress from childhood through a bohemian life of love-affairs, artistic development, and political involvements, to his 50th year. Drawing on a great archive of personal and contemporary material, Foster charts the growth of a poet's mind and of an astonishing personality, both of which were instrumental in the formation of a new and radicalized Irish nationalist identity.
