Since its first appearance in 1962, M. L. Rosenthal's classic selection of Yeats's poems and plays has attracted hundreds of thousands of readers. This new revised edition expands the volume to include 211 poems and three plays, representing the essential achievement of the greatest twentieth-century poet to write in English. It makes use of the scholarship of the past quarter-century that has helped to establish Yeats's most reliable texts, in the order set by the poet himself. And his powerful lyrical sequences are amply represented, culminating in the powerful selection from "Last Poems and Two Plays", which reaches its climax in the brilliant poetic plays, "The Death of Cuchulain and Purgatory".
