Bøker av A. Norman Jeffares

This selection of 239 poems is supported by a critical introduction, very full explanatory notes, a bibliographical summary of Yeats's life, maps, a glossary of Irish names and places and their pronunciation and a bibliography. For this second edition, the notes have been thoroughly revised and updated.

In revising this book for a second edition, Harry Blamires has updated his final chapters to give a thorough coverage to the work of dramatists, novelists and poets who have achieved prominence in the 1980s, either as new writers or rediscovered authors who have recently been brought back into print or revived by radio and television.

The earlier writing is discussed chronologically, but the great wealth of writing in the last century is discussed in genres: poetry, fiction and drama. The writers are set in their social and political context.

This volume, a reissue of the 1990 edition of Jeffares's biography of Yeats, with a new introduction and bibliography, is an account of Yeats's life and work. It features a collection of previously unpublished letters, photographs and poetry.
