Items related to W.B.Yeats: The Man and the Milieu
In this study of W.B. Yeats, the author shows the concealed side of the poet by drawing attention to his strenuous involvement with the world outside him. As well as the dreamer, the text portrays him as the determined careerist, the workaholic, the pushy impresario and the brawler.

Review:
Like R.F. Foster in W.B. Yeats: A Life, Canadian scholar Keith Alldritt concentrates on Yeats' public activities and relationships with others. (The poet's interior struggles and creativity are amply considered in Yeats' memoirs and Richard Ellmann's critical biography.) Alldritt's succinct work covers his entire life in broad strokes and links Yeats to developments in Europe as well as Ireland. His Yeats is no dreamy mystic, but a "brawler and scrapper", an ambitious careerist preoccupied with status and money--very human and accessible to the general reader.
From the Inside Flap:
full-scale biography of William Butler Yeats in more than 45 years, Keith Alldritt radically alters the traditional portrait of one of the greatest and most beloved poets of the 20th century. Placing Yeats within the context of his times, he reveals the determined careerist, shrewd manipulator, and political operator behind Yeats' familiar image as a dreamer, idealist and mystic. 16-page photo insert.
