The Yeats Reader is the first single volume to encompass the full range of William Butler Yeats's talents. It presents over a hundred of Yeats's best-known poems, plus eight plays, a sampling of his prose tales, and excerpts from his published autobiographical and critical writings. Also included are selections from the memoirs left unpublished at his death and complete introductions written for the projected Scribner edition of his collected works. These are supplemented by unobtrusive annotation and a chronology of the life.
