In this book, different perspectives on W. B. Yeats' poetry converge. These pages place him in relation to other poets such as MacNeice. They also take us from the first volumes, where the space of writing becomes the writing of space, to Responsabilities, a volume that reflects an intensity that Ezra Pound calls "new robustness", and then through the sexual, political and aesthetic themes of Michael Robartes and the Dancer. We then discuss the great poems of maturity with The Tower. This book also considers general topics, such as the importance of tradition for Yeats, his conception of the afterlife with the debt to India in particular, his attitude towards degeneration, his vision of the Apocalypse with the symbol of the spiral. Other studies focus on some major poems such as "The Circus Animais Desertion", which weaves together life and art, or "Lapis Lazuli" and the notion of "tragic joy".
