About this book

This book traces the creative process in Yeats's writing, in his making and remaking of verse, and in the development of a body of work over the last forty years of his life. Lyrical and philosophical poetry, verse-drama, and the shifting contexts of personal and political events are all dealt with here.

Reviews

“There is much for those who are interested in the process of creation and publication, without a deep knowledge of the context. … This is a rich book and a valuable contribution to Yeats studies, textual studies, and genetic research. It shows the fascination of this difficult and painstaking work, of seeking and gaining a deeper understanding of the creative process, and of pushing towards an ever-fuller picture and ever-greater accuracy.” (Neil Mann, The South Carolina Review, Vol. 48 (2), 2016)
