About the Book

"Volume I: The Apprentice Mage" describes W. B. Yeats's progress from childhood through a bohemian life of love-affairs, artistic development, and political involvements, to his fiftieth year. Drawing on a great archive of personal and contemporary material, Foster charts the growth of a poet's mind and of an astonishing personality, both of which were instrumental in the formation of a new and radicalized Irish nationalist identity. "Volume II: The Arch-Poet", the second and final volume in R. F. Foster's acclaimed biography, covers the second half of W. B. Yeats's life, taking in his controversial political involvements, continued supernatural experiments, his extraordinary marriage, a series of love affairs, and the writing of his greatest poetry. Life and work are woven closely together to create a rich, new, uniquely authoritative, and immensely involving treatment of one of the greatest lives of modern times.
