Richard Ellmann

Yeats

The Man and the Masks

The definitive biography of William Butler Yeats

Yeats
The most influential poet of his age, Yeats eluded the grasp of many who sought to explain him. In this classic critical examination of the poet, Richard Ellmann strips away the masks of his subject: occultist, senator of the Irish Free State, libidinous old man, and Nobel Prize winner.

National Book Award-winning biographer Richard Ellmann was the author of the landmark biographies James Joyce and Oscar Wilde, among many other highly praised works.
