Book Reviews of W.B. Yeats: Man and Poet
Book Review: An excellent book.
Summary: 4 Stars
Readable, articulate and superbly well-researched, this biography was obviously written with the whole self of the author put into the task. Yeats's development as a poet in particular is charted discerningly and in its full context; my only criticism is that occasionally exegesis of the poetry is over-simple. This aside, Jeffares evokes Yeats as both man and poet knowingly and with finesse; the book has the type of breadth that makes for the standard biography. Any reader of Yeats could not help but be illuminated by this work.
Summary of W.B. Yeats: Man and Poet
One of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) is among the greatest poets to have written in the English language. He was a multi-talented writer, fascinated by the occult, an important dramatist, critic and autobiographer, with a career extending over more than fifty years. Professor Jeffares investigates the relationship between Yeats's life and his work. He considers the crucial moments as well as the famous relationships that changed Yeats's destiny. A founder of the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, Yeats was also a Senator of the Irish Free State. His life has provided a remarkably rich and varied canvas for this timeless biography.
