Yeats' Ireland

En savoir plus sur le livre

Author John Gregory brings to life the subtle, almost mystical interaction between land and poetry, tracing Yeats' development from his early childhood days in Sligo through his romantic yearnings and literary battles in Dublin, where he founded the Abbey Theatre, to his days of retreat and contemplation within The Tower in County Galway. Yeats' own writings, both poems and prose work, feature prominently; and the Ireland he lived in, the landscapes that inspired him, are captured in historic prints and contemporary photographs, making Yeats' Ireland an essential literary companion.
