An engagingly written bio of WB Yeats, whose career spanned the end of the Victorian era to the early thirties. Yeats'life was complicated and multifaceted. An Irish nationalist, politician, public speaker, poet, an occultist and a dramatist, were the many roles he dominated ! Yeats was the eternal "seeker of truth", and a driving force for Irish home rule. His many literary connections enhanced his career for decades. Alldritt, a Canadian Professor of English , has skillfully captured his rich legacy. A rarely attained and most enjoyable text (with photos) beautifully achieved!
