This accessible and thought-provoking Companion is designed to help
students experience the pleasures and challenges offered by one of the
twentieth century's greatest poets. A team of international
contributors examine Yeats's poetry, drama and prose in their
historical and national contexts. The essays explain and synthesise
major aspects and themes of his life and work: his lifelong engagement
with Ireland, his complicated relationship to the English literary
tradition, his literary, social, and political criticism and the
evolution of his complex spiritual and religious sense. First-time
readers of Yeats as well as more advanced scholars will welcome this
comprehensive account of Yeats's career with its useful chronological
outline and survey of the most important trends in Yeats scholarship.
Taken as a whole, this Companion comprises an essential introduction
for students and teachers of Yeats.
