Samenvatting:

The Collected Works of W. B. Yeats offer a comprehensive journey through the poetic evolution of one of Ireland’s greatest literary figures. Spanning his early works that draw on Irish myth and folklore to the profound and often mystical poems of his later years, this collection captures the breadth and depth of Yeats's artistic vision.
From the haunting beauty of »The Lake Isle of Innisfree« to the poignant reflections in »Sailing to Byzantium« and the philosophical musings of »The Second Coming,« each poem showcases Yeats's masterful command of language and his ability to weave complex themes with lyrical elegance.

W. B. YEATS [1865-1939] was an Irish poet and dramatist. He was a key figure in the Irish Literary Revival and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923. Yeats's works, including The Tower and The Winding Stair, blend myth, mysticism, and modernism, leaving an enduring legacy in both Irish and global literature.
