W. B. and George Yeats Library

<p>In 2002 the Yeats family made a generous Heritage Donation to the National Library of Ireland. With additions as well as subtractions most books listed in Edward O’Shea’s <em>A Descriptive Catalog of W. B. Yeats’s Library </em>(1985) were transferred to the National Library. The present volume is a first step toward a comprehensive book of Yeats’s annotations. By inventorying the complete collection <em>The W. B. and George Yeats Library: A Short-title Catalog</em> cross-lists images of copied and inserted material. Supplementary lists are incorporated into this fully indexed edition which is enhanced by more than a dozen illustrations and an appendix to underscore growth of the poet’s personal library in the 115 years since the public first glimpsed it in 1904.</p>
