autobiographies $19.99 The Collected Works of W. B. Yeats, Volume III: Autobiographies is part of the fourteen-volume series overseen by eminent Yeats scholars Richard J. Finnerah and George Mills Harper. The series includes virtually all of the Nobel laureate’s published work, with authoritative and explanatory notes. Autobiographies consists of six autobiographical works — Reveries Over childhood and Youth, The Trembling of the Veil, Dramatis Personae, Estrangement, The Death of Synge, and The Bounty of Sweden — that William Butler Yeats published together in the mid-1930s to form a single, extraordinary memoir of the first fifty-eight years of his life, from his earliest memories of childhood to winning the Nobel Prize for literature. This volume provides a vivid series of personal accounts of a wide range of figures, and it describes Yeats’s work as poet and playwright, as a founder of Dublin’s famed Abbey Theatre, his involvement with Irish nationalism, and his fascination with occultism and visions. This book is most compelling as Yeats’s own account of the growth of his poetic imagination. Yeats thought that a poet leads a life of allegory, and that his works are comments upon it. Autobiographies enacts his ruling belief in the connections and coherence between the life that he led and the works that he wrote. It is a vision of personal history as art, and so it is the one truly essential companion to his poems and plays. Edited by William H. O’Donnell and Douglas N. Archibald, this volume is available for the first time with invaluable explanatory notes and includes previously unpublished passages from candidly explicit first drafts. |

Autobiographies I $14.78 ‘I thought that no man liveth and dieth to himself, so I put behind what I thought and what I did the panorama of the world I lived in the things that made me.’ Sean O’Casey, 1948 Sean O’Casey’s six-part Autobiographies, originally published between 1939 and 1955, is an eloquently comprehensive self-portrait of an artist’s life and times, unsurpassed in literature. This volume contains the first two parts: I Knock at the Door (1939) and Pictures in the Hallway (1942). The former charts the childhood of young ‘John Cassidy’ (as O’Casey was christened), powerfully marked by the death of his father and his affliction by the eye infection trachoma. Pictures in the Hallway carries the story into John’s adolescence, and tentative steps into the adult world of work, the opposite sex and political awakening. |
