Description: This rare, first edition paperback advance review copy of "Yeats: A Life II: The Arch-Poet" by R.F. Foster is an essential artifact for all of you Yeatsian aficionados spinning in your cosmic gyres and either' full of passionate intensity' or hopefully ( not ) lacking all conviction to bolster your collection of this most articulate of modern Irish artisans of the poetic and prescient artist of What was formerly referred to as the postmodern and his thematics still seems so applicable and in tune With the current literary era as we tentatively make steps forward in the eerie post digital twilight that constitutes what might be construed to be the now or present moment wherein we currently locate our disparate versions of selfhood embedded in the cosmic fabric of the space-time continuum with all of its discursive and dissonant linguistic signs and meanings and semantic conflict, similarity, and The potential manifestation of a Hegelian sort of synthesis ... As history grinds forth ceaselessly. What a great time to be alive this last generation of original human storytelling as artificial technologies and generative textualities will continue to crowd out 100% human authenticity in the creative writing space! It will be curious to read poetry 50 years from now and will chat GPT be good or bad for the poets of the future? Perhaps TS Eliot wouldn't even be able to answer that question intelligently. Anyway, enough of my ranting on about the literary epoch and its future or lack thereof. You need this book. With its cloth binding and 856 pages, this hardcover book is a substantial addition to any bookshelf. The book was printed in 2003 by Oxford University Press, Incorporated and is an original, uncorrected proof. Note: ISBN is listed in this book as 0-19-818465-4 But as it is in advanced readers copy or review copy for an instructor or journalist critic it is referring to the actual first edition. The book covers the literary, historical, and biographical aspects of Yeats' life and work, with a focus on his poetry. The book is written in English and includes illustrations. This collector's edition book is perfect for those interested in European and English literature, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh history, and literary criticism. This book will be sure to keep any drowsy emperor awake with its exciting anecdotes and textual exegesis of many of Yeats' most famous works. May a strong wind be behind your back and fill your weathered sails as you journey towards that golden, resplendent and mystical land of Byzantium ... No country for old men but always ready for more students for its singing schools. Thanks in advance for your purchase and for supporting independent and self-employed, small business owners like me.
