LAST ITEM HELD MATCHING THIS TITLE STATED:

London: Thames and Hudson, 1978. 600 g; 144 pages, indexed, with chapter notes, and chronology. Also included is a bibliographical note. The text is illustrated with black-and-white reproductions of art works, and photographs, and the dust jacket has a colour illustrated reproduction of the portrait by Augustus John, 1907. The dust jacket is slightly ruffled across the top edge. Otherwise it and the book in very good condition. The authors trace Yeats' long and eventful career, covering such episodes as his directorship of the Abbey Theatre and period in the Irish Senate, as well as his poetic activities. The authors analyse, with cuteness and humour, contradictory qualities of a genius who was both lovable and forbidding, worldly and unworldly, a practical mystic and a superstitious realist. -- front fold over blurb..
