Beschreibung

First Edition. Octavo. Navy fabric with elaborate, gilt design and lettering to spine. Gilt top edge. Yeats?was an Irish?poet?and one of the foremost figures of?20th century literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, he helped to found the?Abbey Theatre, and in his later years served as an Irish?Senator?for two terms. Yeats was a driving force behind the?Irish Literary Revival?along with?Lady Gregory,?Edward Martyn?and others. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889, and its slow-paced and lyrical poems display Yeats's debts to?Edmund Spenser,?Percy Bysshe Shelley, and the poets of the?Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. From 1900, his poetry grew more physical and?realistic. He largely renounced the transcendental beliefs of his youth, though he remained preoccupied with physical and spiritual masks, as well as with cyclical theories of life. In 1923, he was awarded the?Nobel Prize in Literature. Good. Minor soiling to covers. Binding tight. Textblock clean. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 32150
