The authorized canon of one of the world's most beloved poets, this is a collection of every poem William Butler Yeats approved for publication during his lifetime.
This collection includes every poem Yeats approved for publication during his lifetime, as well as a preface, appendices, notes, and an index by Yeats scholar Richard Finneran.
This edition of 211 of Yeats's poems and four of his plays is organized chronologically, and also includes a foreword, an introduction, a glossary, a bibliography, an index, and comprehensive notes by Yeats scholar M. L. Rosenthal.

This enthralling anthology of Irish legends and tales of the occult is composed of three classic collections--"The Celtic Twilight, The Secret Rose", and "Stories of Red Hanrahan"--and reflects Ireland's greatest poet's deep and abiding interest in preserving and celebrating Irish history and culture.
Rooted in myth, occult mysteries, and belief in magic, these stories are populated by a lively cast of sorcerers, fairies, ghosts, and nature spirits. The great Irish poet heard these enchanting, mystical tales from Irish peasants, and the stories' anthropologic significance is matched by their timeless entertainment value.
A leader of the 20th-century Irish nationalist movement, William Butler Yeats is also among that nation's greatest poets. This selection includes poetry from every period of his life, dealing with: love, death, old age, ambition, the poet's craft, and the history and destiny of Ireland.
