Rosa Alchemica

*Illustrated with pictures

*Includes Table of Contents

One of the most famous poets of the 20th century, William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was so popular and renowned during his time that he was the leader of what came to be known as the Irish Literary Revival, on the strength of his short stories and vivid poetry. Eventually it would lead to his winning a Nobel Prize in 1923. It is no surprise that Ireland loved its home grown son; the Nobel Prize Committee credited him for “inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation.”

This edition of Rosa Alchemica is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and Yeats, his life and work, and characters from Celtic mythology and Irish folklore.
