Yeats is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th to early 20th century. This anthology showcases Yeats's diverse exploration of themes such as love, identity, and the intersection of mythology and reality, reflecting his deep ties to Irish culture and heritage. Readers can expect a rich tapestry of lyrical expressions that convey both personal and national sentiments through Yeats’s unique voice. At the start of this collection, Yeats's prefaces introduce a reflection on his previous works, particularly plays like "The Countess Cathleen" and "The Land of Heart's Desire." He discusses the revisions he has made in these pieces to suit the theatrical context they were created for, and emphasizes his desire to capture the essence of Irish folklore and spirituality.
