2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title!!, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: W. B. Yeats: Selected Poems (Hardcover)

Obviously, it is the selection and not the poetry itself which merits the low rating. I ordered this text after consulting Books in Print; "Selected Poems" seems reasonable enough. In fact, the poems cover only the first half of Yeats's career, and thus many of his finest works are not represented. Caveat emptor!

5.0 out of 5 stars The cheapest way to obtain Yeats' best poems in hardcover!, April 4, 1999

asv2339@unix.tamu.edu (College Station, TEXAS) - See all my reviews

This review is from: W. B. Yeats: Selected Poems (Hardcover)

This book is for the classic Yeats reader who wants a greatest hits book, without the exhausting detail of the author's every waking moment. Expertly categorized, his great poems are woven into this book, with excellent type and font that is very readable. The cover is also elegantly designed (you can see it online).

3.0 out of 5 stars Why not more of the great Yeats Poems, September 10, 2010

ken92111 (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: W.B. Yeats: Selected Poems (MP3 CD)

Where is Leda and the Swan, Sailing to Byzantium, etc. Early Yeats is OK but somewhat Victorian and self consciously "poetic" in tone. "The Sad Shepard"?

...would be a more accurate/full-disclosure title for this book. Many (most?) of Yeats' best and best-known works are not to be found here. Read more
