"Professor Jeffares's biography not only takes the complications of a complicated man in its stride, but actually delights in them. . . There are other admirable studies of W.B. Yeats, but none, I think, quite as comprehensive as this skilful evocation."--William Trevor, The Guardian
"This is an entirely generous book by an entirely generous scholar."--Barbara Hayley, The Irish Times
"...this fine book details the life of Yeats from birth to death in an honest, straight-forward manner...If you are curious as to why this man's poetry was popular to some jazz musicians and beat poets, this book will reveal Yeats in total...An enjoyable book, full of facts."--Lee Prosser, jazzreview.com, 9/27/02
