Collected Poems of Yeats (enhanced Edition)

About This Novel
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet, playwright, novelist, and essayist who wrote in English. He was praised by Thomas Eliot as "the greatest poet in the English-speaking world of the twentieth century." As Yeats claimed and is generally recognized, the Irish literary revival movement he initiated created a new (modern) national literature - Irish literature written in English. Yeats's poetic style underwent several changes, integrating romanticism, aestheticism, mystical symbolism, and realism, and achieved what he called "the combination of romanticism and realism" in art. As one theorist said, he is "the most modern among modern writers without being a modernist". In 1923, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his poems that express the spirit of the entire nation in a highly artistic form and are always full of inspiration." This collection of poems is an addition to the collection of translations of Yeats' poems that the translator has polished and published over the years. In addition to revising the previously published 374 translated poems, 38 new poems from Yeats's early unpublished poems have also been newly translated. In addition to 3 poems selected from the review booklet "On the Boiler", there are 415 translated poems in total. It is the largest collection of Yeats poems in Chinese translation to date.
