Beschreibung

The Complete Works of William Butler Yeats (Vol. 1-8) presents a comprehensive anthology of one of the most pivotal figures in modern literature. Covering the spectrum from his early lyric poetry to later more complex and politically charged works, these volumes reveal Yeats's evolution as both a poet and a thinker. Through his mastery of symbols and intricate forms, Yeats interweaves themes of mysticism, nationalism, and the human condition, reflecting the tumultuous backdrop of late 19th and early 20th century Ireland. These collected works, characterized by rich imagery and profound philosophical inquiry, engage with the cultural and political turmoil of Yeats's time, making them integral to the canon of English literature. William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was not only a Nobel Prize-winning poet but also a fervent political activist and a key figure in the Irish literary revival. His experiences with the Irish nationalist movement, interactions with contemporary artists and intellectuals, and deep interest in theosophy and the occult greatly influenced his creative output. Yeats's commitment to fostering a uniquely Irish identity through literature illuminated both his artistry and his political fervor, channeling the struggles of his society into verse that resonated across generations. For readers seeking to delve into the depth of Yeats's literary genius, The Complete Works of William Butler Yeats is an essential treasure. This collection offers insightful perspectives into the human psyche and cultural identity, making it a vital read for students of literature, history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding the fusion of art and life. Yeats's poignant and often haunting explorations will undoubtedly captivate both seasoned admirers and newcomers alike.

    Lady, the first full collection of poems by Laurie Bolger, arrives 'all giddy with endorphins' and explores the many roles girls and women are asked to play and the dressing-up outfits they try on for size – whether housewife or hen, sister or mum, landlady, exercise instructor or best friend forever. Bolger's poems turn her bold, funny and wise words on boys, body image and the pressure to make yourself fit into a pigeon-hole, when all you really want to do is soar away on your own wings.
    Here, these gritty and effervescent poems look to the things that sustain us when navigating an imperfect world obsessed with perfection. Whether dancing in the kitchen, crying in the bath or eating crisps, these poems are equal parts delicious, joyous, and bittersweet. A celebration of the resilience of working-class women and the solidarity and love found in friendship and family, Bolger's poems dare to dream and be wild – and invite us all to join her.

    This debut collection of poems, composed with no thought to commercial publication and discovered by Green Writers Press by happenstance, addresses events in the poet' s life that every reader can relate to — friendships, the beginning, middle, and end of romantic relationships, and the death of a loved one. And they do so with " stiletto-sharp" metaphors — " rosebuds stillborn in the falling snow" — and wry observations — " Trying Again: Like an old shoe comfortable for a while but still causing blisters" — that evoke from the reader a knowing nod and sometimes an outright laugh. Short, disarming, crafted with carefully calibrated rhythms and innovative rhymes, these poems " skulk in the grass" and, while your guard is down, " barge right in" to your consciousness, uninvited guests.

    'I wanted to put you bang in the picture. Apprise you of the difficulties. Because, in case you hadn't noticed, he's a human fucking boobytrap. And now, guess what, surprise surprise, boom!'
    A world-famous children's author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And a chance to make amends…
    It's the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won't die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.
    Inspired by real events, Mark Rosenblatt's debut play Giant offers a nuanced portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon – and explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric.
    The play was first performed to great acclaim at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Nicholas Hytner with a cast including John Lithgow as Dahl. It transferred to the West End the following year, and won the Olivier and Critics' Circle Awards for Best New Play. Mark Rosenblatt won Best Creative West End Debut at the Stage Debut Awards in 2025.
