«Yeats Anthology» is an anthology of poems, plays and prose by W.B. Yeats, published by HarperCollins in paperback (in English).
The book brings together a selection of Yeats's work: it includes well-known poems such as «The Second Coming» and excerpts from his plays and his prose. It also contains the passage from his speech «no mean people», delivered in defence of divorce and of the Anglo-Irish tradition.
For those looking for a first introduction to Yeats, this anthology offers a representative sample of his poetry, his plays and his prose.
William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet, dramatist, writer and literary critic who was one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival and, along with John Millington Synge and Lady Gregory, founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its early years. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature and later served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State.
