Description
Some of Yeats’s most iconic early work appears in this collection of poems of love and magic. This volume has the bookplate and ownership signature of Eve Gore-Booth, the sister of Irish actress and revolutionary Constance Markievicz. Yeats first met the wealthy, elegant sisters at their family’s estate outside of Sligo in 1892, when Constance was twenty-four and Eva was twenty-two. Eva became a suffragette and feminist in England as well as a published poet.
