This title draws together 54 prose pieces, published between 1900 and Yeats's death in January 1939, which reflect the range of Yeats's interests in his maturity. The volume also includes transcripts of ten radio programmes broadcast by Yeats between 1931 and 1937.
This volume in The Collected Edition of the Works of W.B.Yeats brings together for the first time thirty-two introductions written for anthologies that he edited or for books by other writers. The introductions span the full length of his career. Their topics range from Irish legends and folklore to the design of graceful new Irish coins. The authors he discusses include William Blake, J.M.Synge, Lady Gregory, Oscar Wilde, Oliver St John Gogarty, Lionel Johnson and Rabindranath Tagore. Full explanatory notes and an index give the reader easy access to the volume's diverse array of topics. The text is reliable and accurate.
This edition of the complete poems of W.B.Yeats represents a major landmark in Yeats scholarship. Here in one volume is the canon of Yeats's verse, edited and fully annotated by A.Norman Jeffares and arranged in the order Yeats wanted. Also an appendix by Warwick Gould.
From 1888 to 1892 W.B.Yeats contributed a series of essays on literature and Irish folklore to two American newspapers, the Boston Pilot and Providence Sunday Journal. These important but little-known pieces show his intense engagement with current books, plays, personalities and controversies. They also make major statements about the issues of cultural nationalism and theatrical reform that preoccupied the poet. Newly edited, annotated, and introduced by George Bornstein and Hugh Witemeyer, Letters to the New Island offers a fresh glimpse of Yeats as an active polemicist, critic and all-round man of letters.
