The book spans 478 pages and is presented in English, reflecting Yeats’s status as a leading lyric poet of Ireland.
Readers will find a rich selection of Yeats’s poetry, ranging from his early lyrical pieces such as “When You are Old” and “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” to his later works that demonstrate his evolving artistry. The collection highlights themes prevalent in European poetry, particularly those rooted in Irish, English, Scottish, and Welsh traditions. An introduction by Dr. Robert Mighall provides additional context for understanding Yeats’s contributions to poetry and his role in the Irish Literary Renaissance.
