William Butler Yeats is regarded as the most important Irish poet and as one of the major poets of the twentieth century poetry in English.  But readers and researchers often complain that the books on Yeats criticism tend to deal with a particular phase or a particular aspect of his poetic art and therefore the idea of comprehensive study of his poetic art remains but a mirage.  The present book W.B. Yeats: Images, Echoes and Aesthetics endeavors therefore to explicate Yeast’s aesthetics by studying in all major aspects of his personality, poetry and plays.  A sincere attempt is made in the book to study Ireland, Irish myths, nationalism, romanticism, realism, magic, automatic writing, symbolism, occultism, Hinduism, Jainism and modernism in the light of Yeat’s poetry. Almost fifty years of his creative writing clearly reveal the fact that poetry writing for Yeats has been a process of innovations, transformations and alterations.  The book therefore, attempts to closely study changes in his themes, styles and techniques of poetry that have take place over the years of his long career as a poet.

It is hoped that the book will be of great help to students and research scholars of English poetry.
