Synopsis

This book traces the creative process in Yeats's writing, in his making and remaking of verse, and in the development of a body of work over the last forty years of his life. Lyrical and philosophical poetry, verse-drama, and the shifting contexts of personal and political events are all dealt with here.

Review:

“There is much for those who are interested in the process of creation and publication, without a deep knowledge of the context. ... This is a rich book and a valuable contribution to Yeats studies, textual studies, and genetic research. It shows the fascination of this difficult and painstaking work, of seeking and gaining a deeper understanding of the creative process, and of pushing towards an ever-fuller picture and ever-greater accuracy.” (Neil Mann, The South Carolina Review, Vol. 48 (2), 2016)
