The Poetry of W.B. Yeats

"One of Ireland's greatest writers, Yeats helped to revive the fortunes of Irish literature through his poetry. His fascination with the legends and fairy tales of Irish folklore contributed a mythical, ethereal quality to his verse that cannot be found anywhere else. Ranging from enchanted tales of dreamlike beings to impassioned polemics, the Irish bard leads you through the irresistible landscape of Ireland, past, present, and future, while his magical words cast a lasting spell." --Page 4 of cover.
