After the death of Algernon Swinburne in April 1909 Yeats announced to his sister that he was now 'King of the Cats'. Yet he was far less sure of himself than this boast suggests. This volume tracks Yeats's unrelenting but often agonised attempts to redefine his positon as a poet in a time of aesthetic and personal transition and uncertainty.
Covers a tumultuous period in WB Yeats' public and personal life, beginning with the acrimonious collapse of Maud Gonne's marriage to Major MacBride, and encompassing the fiery disputes in the Abbey Theatre as it changed from an amateur society into a professional company.
