Summary
Yeats: Early Poems, Fairytales, and First Love
The poems, prose, and drama gathered in When You Are Old present a fresh portrait of the Nobel Prize-winning writer as a younger man - the 1890s aesthete and dandy who collected Irish folklore, dabbled in magic, and wrote heartrending poems for his beloved, the beautiful, elusive Irish revolutionary Maud Gonne.
Beautiful early writings by one of the 20th century’s greatest poets on the 150th anniversary of his birth.
