W B Yeats Selected Plays, curated by the distinguished scholar A. Norman Jeffares, presents a carefully chosen collection of Yeats's theatrical masterpieces — from the haunting symbolism of At the Hawk's Well to the tragic grandeur of Purgatory — offering readers an authoritative window into the playwright's singular vision of theatre as ritual and revelation.\n\nJeffares, one of the foremost Yeats scholars of his generation, brings meticulous editorial insight to this volume, situating each play within the rich biographical and cultural context of Irish literary nationalism and the Abbey Theatre movement. Yeats's dramatic writing, far removed from the drawing-room realism of his contemporaries, chronicles a world where the spiritual and the earthly are in constant, electric tension — where heroes, gods, and ghosts speak in verse of timeless longing. For those who believe they already know Yeats from his poetry alone, this collection issues a quietly irresistible challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203223331035,"sku":"2026200015611-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b9e955eb-d28c-4308-b330-0b1a356f24e9.png?v=1788146119","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015611-secondhand-w-b-yeats-selected-plays","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
