YEATS - WILLIAM BUTLER

YEATS  - WILLIAM BUTLER (1865-1939) was an Irish poet/playwright and one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature.  He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his always inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation."

A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, in his later years he served as an Irish Senator for two terms.  Yeats was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival and, along with Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn, and others, founded the Abbey Theatre, where he served as its chief during its early years.  Yeats is generally considered one of the few writers who completed their greatest works after being awarded the Nobel Prize; such works include "The Tower" (1928) and "The Winding Stair & Other Poems" (1929).

Here are several editions of his complete poetry and plays, including the unpublished early poetry.  But the centerpiece of this torrent is THE COLLECTED WORKS OF W. B. YEATS a 14-volume series (in progress) under the general editorship of eminent Yeats scholar George Bornstein and formerly the late Richard J. Finneran and George Mills Harper.  All the published volumes to-date (April 2015) are included here -- with a very special thanks for the invaluable help supplied by nnikif!
