Yeats in his love affairs, politics, and poetry. From his youth in the 1880s, as a fertile dreamer rediscovering and remaking the Irish tradition, he grew into a great and innovative poet of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis selection of Yeats's work includes the final book from the unjustly neglected narrative poem \u003cem\u003eThe Wanderings of Oisin\u003c\/em\u003e and a number of lyrics from Yeats's work as a poetic dramatist. This edition breaks new ground by allowing the reader to engage with a dozen poems in alternative versions; in many other cases, it provides significant variants, so that Yeats's struggle to revise his poetry can be experienced with unusual immediacy. It also includes explanatory and textual notes for each poem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'A compelling poetic presence ... together with Joyce, Yeats made modern Irish poetry possible'\u003c\/em\u003e - Timothy Webb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46251289837804,"sku":"9780141181257","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780141181257.jpg?v=1741595293","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/selected-poems-by-william-yeats-9780141181257","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
