The Tower (book)

The Tower (book) written by William Butler Yeats

The Tower was a book of poems by William Butler Yeats, published in 1928. The title, which the book shares with the second poem, refers to the Thoor Ballylee castle which Yeats purchased and lived in for some time with his family. The book includes several of Yeats' most famous poems, including Sailing to Byzantium, Leda and the Swan, and Among School Children. Yeats' concerns with confronting his old age come to the fore with the volume. [Renewal of Copyright R163206, Renewal Date: 20 Jan 1956 (PD in US in 2021)] facsimile
