W. B. Yeats: The Man and the Milieu - Hardcover
Yeats was a master craftsman, & one of his most skillful constructs was his own image. He wished to be remembered as an Irishman & a poet; as a man whose nature had been determined by the almost magical qualities of his childhood in Sligo & whose character had been shaped by the influence of admirable men. Yeats lived at a time of profound changes for the Western world from the high Victorianism of the late 1800s to the advent of modernism in the 1930s. Aldritt offers a sense of Yeats in his social & historical context -- to show that an important side of his genius was his deep & often manipulative relationship with the turbulent life around him.
