About This Item
London : A. H. Bullen / Dublin : Maunsel & Co., 1906. First edition. "I walked among the seven woods of Coole ..." - fifteen poems (some previously published in a limited edition), including "In the Seven Woods", "Never Give all the Heart", "The Withering of the Boughs" and "Under the Moon", together with much revised versions of three verse plays ("The Shadowy Waters", "On Baile's Strand" and "The King's Threshold"). Yeats' preface provides a highly interesting commentary on his work at this period. "We have gradually come to think of Mr. Yeats as the greatest of the younger poets who use the English tongue" (Daily News). Crown 8vo (20cm). xvi,(280)pp. Original decorative blue cloth gilt in a design by Althea Gyles (1867-1949); just very faintly rubbed and bruised; mild tanning of endpapers, but a very good and bright copy. Neat contemporary gift inscription dated Xmas 1906 and later decorative bookplate of Ronald and Jay Hamilton.
