Description

Irish poet, playwright, and Nobel laureate (1865-1939) widely regarded as one of the most influential literary figures of the twentieth century. A leader of the Irish Literary Revival and co-founder of Dublin’s Abbey Theatre, Yeats produced landmark works including The Wild Swans at Coole and The Tower, helping to shape modern poetry in the English language. ALS signed “W. B. Yeats,” one page, 4.5 x 7, no date. Addressed from Dublin, a handwritten letter to an autograph seeker: “I enclose autograph which I am afraid you asked for a long while ago.” In fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
