This book deals with editing Yeats' poems and is a companion to the revised edition of W.B.Yeats "The Poems - A New Edition". It outlines the complex problems facing an editor of Yeats' poetry and explains the solutions adopted in the new text. Manuscript materials are drawn on extensively, including some which have recently come to light in the Scribner archives at the Univeristy of Texas and at Princeton University. Compared with the first edition of this volume, there is an additional chapter on the order of the poems as well as new information on the Scribner edition and other revisions throughout.;Richard Finneran is the editor of "Yeats: An Annual of Critical and Textual Studies".
This new edition of The Collected Poems of W.B.Yeats includes all of the poems authorised for publication by Yeats in his lifetime. From skilful retellings of ancient Irish myths and legends to passionate meditations on the demands and rewards of youth and old age, these exquisite, occasionally whimsical songs of love, nature and art stand in dramatic contrast to the sombre and angry poems of life in a nation torn by war and uprising. In the rich and recurrent imagery of the rose, the gyre and the tower the reader can trace Yeats's quest to unite intellect and artistry in a single compelling vision. Included in this edition are Yeats's notes complemented by explanatory notes from the esteemed Yeats scholar Richard J.Finneran.
Based on interviews with political decision-makers involved in post-Cold War case studies, this research reassesses the prevalent conclusion in the academic literature, according to which American public opinion has limited influence on military interventions, by including the level of commitment in the study of the decision-making process.
The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats includes all of the poems authorized by Yeats for inclusion in his standard canon. Breathtaking in range, it encompasses the entire arc of his career, from luminous reworkings of ancient Irish myths and legends to passionate meditations on the demands and rewards of youth and old age, from exquisite, occasionally whimsical songs of love, nature, and art to somber and angry poems of life in a nation torn by war and uprising. In observing the development of rich and recurring images and themes over the course of his body of work, we can trace the quest of this century's greatest poet to unite intellect and artistry in a single magnificent vision.

Yeats is the most comprehensive edition of one of the world's most beloved poets available in paperback.

and George Mills Harper. This complete edition includes virtually
all of the Nobel laureate's published work, in authoritative texts
and with extensive explanatory notes.
Drawing upon both published and unpublished material, Finneran traces the relationship between Yeats and Stephens, his protege, a relationship which is significant not only to the careers of both writers, but also to the history of Anglo-Irish Literature.

The first scholarly edition of these materials, "Early Essays" offers a corrected text and detailed annotation of all allusions. Several appendices include materials from early printings which were later excluded, as well as black and white illustrations.
