Description

The current selection traces the evolutionary course of Yeats's poetry, incorporating the poet's interest in Irish folklore and national identity, his involvement in the political situation of his time, and the rich symbolism that characterizes his work, as well as his constant fascination with mysticism. It includes some of his most famous pieces, such as the epic "Easter 1916," the apocalyptic "The Second Coming," and the contemplative and spiritual "Sailing to Byzantium." Often radical in content but always traditional in form, these poems are alternately provocative and moving, and never less than inspiring. Together, they compose an ideal introduction to the poetic career of one of Ireland's greatest literary figures.
