Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"With a patience and rigour unusual in such discussions Dr. Krimm adds significantly to our knowledge of Yeats's attitude to the War of Independence and ensuing Civil War; of his senatorial career which was indeed remarkable for its esposal of liberal causes; of his involvement in and disillusionment with the domestic affairs of the Free State; of his flirtation with the Blueshirts; and of his view of Ireland's role in the modern world..."--IRISH UNIVERSITY REVIEW
