Yeats's \u003ci\u003eThe Tower\u003c\/i\u003e appeared in bookstores in London on Valentine's Day, 1928. His English publisher printed just 2,000 copies of this slender volume of twenty-one poems, priced at six shillings. The book was immediately embraced by book buyers and critics alike, and it quickly became a bestseller. \u003cbr\u003e Subsequent versions of the volume made various changes throughout, but this Scribner facsimile edition reproduces exactly that seminal first edition as it reached its earliest audience in 1928, adding an introduction and notes by esteemed Yeats scholar Richard J. Finneran. \u003cbr\u003e Written between 1912 and 1927, these poems (Sailing to Byzantium, Leda and the Swan, and Among School Children among them) are today considered some of the best and most famous in the entire Yeats canon. As Virginia Woolf declared in her unsigned review of this collection, Mr. Yeats has never written more exactly and more passionately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743247283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.54h x 5.16w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 113\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"William Butler Yeats","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36641387675804,"sku":"9780743247283","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_206bd8cf-60f3-4351-b6c6-6cec0fffc11f.jpg?v=1603853505","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-tower-a-facsimile-edition-9780743247283","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
