The Collected Poems. London: Macmillan, 1933. First Edition Thus. Pp xvi, 476. With frontispiece portrait of the author by Augustus John. Bound in half green morocco over marbled boards, Spine with raised bands, lettered & embellished in gilt. A fine bright copy.

This 1933 Macmillan edition is the definitive “Collected Poems” of Yeats’s lifetime, consolidating his poetic canon from 1889 through 1933.

The poems are arranged chronologically from his first collection ‘Crossway’ (1889) to ‘The Winding Stair and other Poems’ first published in 1933. Allowing readers to trace the arc of Yeats’s stylistic evolution.
