Review:

'...will suit courses which deal with Yeats's work as a whole. In this sense, as well, Finneran's volume is a superior teaching tool to Pethica's...The prefactory matter is short, but well written, and makes a strong case for having available in one volume both the creative and critical output which we know are so inter-referential that to ignore or to minimise the importance of the latter is to miss valuable insight into the former. This is a fine effort, and a boon to intructors. Finneran has chosen wisely and well, and both students and instructors will be grateful that such a volume is now available to us all.' - Christina Hunt, The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC, Irish Studies Review

'Richard Finneran's The Yeats Rader (revised edition) is a must.' - William Baker, Professor, Department of English/University Libraries, Northern Illinois University, USA
