Pierce, David. Yeats’s Worlds: Ireland, England and the Poetic Imagination. With contemporary photographs by Dan Harper. First Edition. New Haven / London, Yale University Press, 1995. 20 x 26cm. (14), 346 pages, with illustrations throughout. Original clothbound hardcover with dustjacket. Excellent condition, as new. Boards, text and dustjacket bright and clean, binding firm. David Pierce offers a fresh perspective on W.B. Yeats, central figure of the Irish Revival, one that attends as much to Yeats’s English contexts as his Irish ones, and to the preoccupations of his art. If Yeats was critical of British attitudes towards Ireland, he was also much taken with English life, with the coterie atmosphere of the Rhymers’ Club in the 1890s, with membership of the Saville Club in London, with gatherings at English country houses. For this intimate portrait of Yeats, Pierce pays particular attention to the hitherto unappreciated role of the poet’s English wife, George Yeats.
