"The trees are in their autumn beauty, the woodland paths are dry": William Butler Yeats' First American edition of The Wild Swans at Coole; signed by him
First American edition of this important volume of Yeats' poetry. Octavo, original illustrated boards. Signed and dated by the author on the title page, "W.B. Yeats, April 2, 1920." In near fine condition.
One of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature, William Butler Years was a pillar of the Irish literary establishment and a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival. Yeats' earliest volume of verse was published in 1889 and, in 1923, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Wild Swans at Coole contains a selection of his later works in which he renounced the transcendental beliefs and style of his youth in favor of a more realistic style.
