{"product_id":"the-tower-william-butler-yeats-9780743247283","title":"The Tower: A Facsimile Edition","description":"The first edition of W. B. Yeats's The Tower 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. 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. 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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Butler Yeats\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743247280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743247283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\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\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 113","brand":"William Butler Yeats","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047468101887,"sku":"9780743247283","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20c9afbc-feeb-49a7-ba20-515007813f48.jpg?v=1684990383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tower-william-butler-yeats-9780743247283","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
