by Gill Books (Compiled by), W. B. Yeats (Author)
Yeats remains celebrated as a towering twentieth-century poet whose enduring influence reshapes Irish and world literature.
In the opinion of many critics, Yeats is the greatest poet of the twentieth century. He is without question the greatest Irish poet. His work has influenced all who have come after him both in Ireland and throughout the English-speaking world.
In this beautifully designed and produced gift book, we get a selection of over seventy of Yeats's best loved poems. These are complemented by a wide range of paintings, prints and drawings, the majority by Irish or Irish-based artists and often artists who were contemporaries of the poet. Many of the pictures can be seen in Irish public collections, particularly the National Gallery of Ireland.
Complete with a detailed introduction and brief notes on the artists, this is the perfect gift for any Yeats fan.
