Description
W. B. Yeats: A Life II - The Arch-Poet 1915-1939 by R. F. Foster This biography covers the final quarter-century of W. B. Yeats's life, from his rediscovery of advanced nationalism to his continued pursuit of supernatural truths and his extraordinary marriage. During this period, he wrote some of his most famous poems, including 'The Fisherman' and 'The Wild Swans at Coole', as well as complex sequences on the Troubles and Civil War. Yeats's life is closely tied to the history of Ireland, with his many political roles and involvement in a right-wing movement during the early 1930s. His personal world was filled with friends, lovers, family, collaborators, and antagonists, all of whom played a significant role in shaping his work. Throughout this book, Foster explores Yeats's private and public life, including his approach to art and his search for reality. With a vast and varied cast of characters, this biography offers a rich and detailed portrait of one of Ireland's most important poets.
