Yeats in Love: The Limited Edition Book
Yeats in Love: The Limited Edition Book
by Annie West
Yeats in Love is an illustrated, semi-fictional account of WB Yeats’ obsessive yet ultimately fruitless pursuit of Maud Gonne, illustrated in detail on every painful page by award-winning Illustrator Annie West. This is the second edition of the gorgeous book, page after page of voluminous colour and detail as we make our excruciatingly entertaining way through Willie Yeats’ pursuit of Maud Gonne.
With an introduction by Theo Dorgan, and designed by Amy West, Yeats in Love promises to be the book to delight and amuse lovers of literature, illustration and unrequited love for many years to come.
This is the second edition of the hugely successful book published by New Island books. Each copy is signed by the Illustrator.
“Annie West is a remarkable and individual artist with a sense of fun who combines skill in draftsmanship and colouring with a sly insight into literature”
Senator David Norris
“A gorgeous, irreverent book”
