A Nobel Prize winning Irish dramatist and author, one of the founders of the Irish Literary Revival, William Butler Yeats is considered one of the twentieth century's key English language poets.
“A Book of Irish Verse’ is a collection of poetry, which was published in 1895. Already established as one of Ireland's leading poets and folklorists the thirty-year-old W.B. Yeats published this outstanding collection of Irish verse as part of his campaign to establish a tradition of Irish poetry fit for the dawn of a new age in Ireland's history.
We are glad to present you the collection, written by the recognized master of poetry, who, according with T.S. Eliot’s opinion, was one of the few whose history is the history of their own time, who are a part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them. Enjoy the reading!
