As well as being one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century and the recipient of the 1923 Nobel Prize for Literature, William Butler Yeats (1865- 1939) is the greatest lyric poet that Ireland has produced.

From Yeats's early work comes some of his most famous and beguiling poems including 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' and 'The Stolen Child'. Enjoying success throughout the entirety of his career, The Tower was an immediate bestseller when first published in 1928, featuring 'Leda and the Swan' and 'Among School Children'.

Spanning two centuries, there's much to treasure in this selection of verse. This edition features an illuminating introduction by author and academic Dr Robert Mighall.
