Alexander Norman Jeffares è stato uno studioso letterario irlandese, rinomato per le sue acute analisi e critiche della moderna letteratura irlandese. Il suo lavoro si è concentrato sulla comprensione e l'apprezzamento di autori irlandesi chiave e del loro contributo alle tradizioni letterarie globali. L'eredità accademica di Jeffares risiede nella sua capacità di collegare i testi letterari ai loro contesti culturali e storici più ampi, offrendo ai lettori una prospettiva più ricca sul patrimonio letterario dell'Irlanda. La sua vasta conoscenza e abilità analitica lo hanno affermato come una figura significativa nel campo degli studi letterari.

Half a century ago, Norman Jeffares wrote the definitive biography of W.B. Yeats, which was subsequently published in a revised edition in 1990 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the poet's death. The present volume, a re-issue of the 1990 edition with a new introduction and bibliography, is an account of Yeats's life and work, together with a fascinating collection of letters, photographs and poetry.
