From this renowned research-level series, Poems and Contexts: Yeats Annual 16 thrusts Yeats's poems back into the circumstances of their creation and revision, addressing what is very much the coming subject in studies of the Irish Literary Revival and the Modernist Movement: the historicity of Yeats's texts. Essayists and their themes include Wayne Chapman on Yeats's Rebellion Poems, Joseph M. Hassett and P.S. Sri on Yeats's poetic sequences, and A. Norman Jeffares' major biographical study of Iseult Gonne. The volume also features research materials, including a full printing of Richard Ellmann's Notebooks on Yeats.
