Description

W.B. Yeats's Selected Poems is a collection of his most innovative and passionate work, edited with an introduction and notes by Timothy Webb in Penguin Modern Classics. This selection brings together some of Yeats's most significant poems, including the final book from The Wanderings of Oisin and lyrics from his work as poetic dramatist. What sets this edition apart is its inclusion of alternative versions of a dozen poems, allowing readers to experience Yeats's struggle to revise his poetry with unusual immediacy. With explanatory notes for each poem, this edition provides a unique insight into Yeats's life, love affairs, politics, and poetry. A great introduction to the poet's work, Selected Poems is also followed by another Penguin Classic, The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry, which explores a different aspect of Yeats's oeuvre.
