Editor Richard J. Finneran expands on earlier collected "The Yeats Reader." This edition includes not only Yeats many classic poems, but also plays, autobiographical writing and fiction. Perhaps most interestingly, there are six poems in which Finneran gives us what you might call "before and after" versions. That is, we see the initial version of "Leda and the Swan", first published in "The Dial" in 1924, as well as the later version, which Yeats significantly revised. If you've put off buying an anthology such as this, now may be the time. ($35 / 566 pages / Scribner)
