About the book

The Tower is one of W. Yeats's most important collections of poetry, written during the later and extraordinarily productive period of his career. Its title refers to Thoor Ballylee, the Norman tower in Ireland that Yeats purchased and made an important personal symbol. The poems consider ageing, artistic creation, politics, Irish history, love and the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds. Combining personal reflection with mythology and historical imagery, The Tower contains some of Yeats's most celebrated mature poetry and stands among the major poetic achievements of the twentieth century.
