The unique and explosive genius of William Blake (1757–1827) is represented in this volume by the Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, plus extensive selections from the Prophetic Books in which Blake develops his private mythology. In addition there are many short poems unpublished in his lifetime and extracts from his prose writings.

A leader of the twentieth-century Irish nationalist movement, who eventually became one of the Free State’s first senators, William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) is also the greatest poet that Ireland has yet produced. The present selection includes poems from every period of his life, dealing with all the topics closest to his hear: love, death, old age, ambition, the poet’s craft, and of course the history and destiny of Ireland.

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) staked a large claim in that unmappable interior territory where poetry merges with dream and vision. His exquisitely musical poems provide us with a direct link to our unconscious life. Through his obsessions, and by virtue of his uncanny imaginative instincts, he anticipated many of the psychological contexts and concerns that inhabit – and indeed define – twentieth-century literature.

These are the poems which took Europe by storm in the early nineteenth century and made Lord Byron (1788–1824) the most celebrated man of his time. The volume includes a selection from the early lyrics and epigrams, several verse letters, and substantial extracts from Byron’s comic masterpiece Don Juan in which he satirizes his own reputation as an amorist.

Daniel Albright’s edition of Yeats’s poems is the most scholarly available. Not only are the poems newly edited to present a close approximation to the ‘sacred book’ Yeats hoped to bequeath to the world, but they are accompanied by detailed explanatory notes and a long introductory essay which help make accessible the work of a poet who pushed imagination to its outer limits yet disciplined his images by confining them to strict lyrical forms.
