mecum of ... Yeats ... full of interest'. Bernard O'Donoghue, The
Times Literary Supplement
William Butler Yeats is considered Ireland's greatest poet. He is
one of the most significant literary figures of the twentieth
century. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.
This is the definitive collection of his poems, encompassing the
full range of his powers, from the love lyrics to the political
poems, from poems meditating on the bliss of youth, to the verse
that rails against old age. A detailed notes section and full
appendix provide an invaluable key to the poems as well as
biographical information on the life of the poet and a guide to his
times. The collection includes Yeats's fourteen books of lyrical
poems, his narrative and dramatic poetry, and his own notes on
individual poems.
Yeats Annual is the leading international research-level journal
devoted to the greatest twentieth-century poet in the English
language. Its twelfth issue, That Accusing Eye: Yeats and His Irish
Readers, is a special number devoted to one of the great realities
of Yeats's writing, the Irish audience that he loved enough to
scorn. This audience managed to wound him both by its attention and
its indifference. As the eight essays by Irish critics show, it
matters even more in the changing Ireland of today. A total of
eighteen authors is represented, and seventeen new books are
reviewed, including five new volumes in the Cornell Manuscripts
Series.
Yeats Annual No.8 has two distinct themes: Yeats's poetic technique
and his aims for an Irish Theatre. Essays from Helen Vendler,
Richard Taylor, Timothy Armstrong and Wayne Chapman place the
poetry under close scrutiny and offer challenging new studies.
Yeats himself writes the remaining essays, including the
long-awaited first publication of his Wildean dialogue and an
uncollected address on the Irish National Theatre delivered in
1934. Richard Londraville edits four of Yeats's lectures given in
England and America in 1902-4.
Mythologies is the definitive edition of W.B. Yeats's folklore and
early prose fiction, edited according to Yeats's final textual
instructions. Its extensive annotation makes luminous Yeats's
'fibrous darkness', that 'matrix out of which everything has come',
by comprehensively dealing with oral and written sources, abandoned
and unpublished writings. The documentation is especially designed
to acknowledge Yeats's strategies of self-allusion and the special
role folkloric prose plays in relation to his poetry, drama,
autobiographical writings, speculative prose, essays and letters.
Featuring a number of new images, this is the first time that a
work of Yeats's has been edited according to 'Book History'
principles, and will be fascinating reading for all students and
scholars of Yeats. Winner of the 2006 Wheatley Medal prize for an
outstanding index.
