Reveries Over Childhood And Youth is a memoir written by William Butler Yeats, one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. The book was first published in 1916 and is a collection of Yeats' memories of his early life in Ireland. In the book, Yeats reflects on his childhood, his family, and his experiences growing up in a country that was undergoing significant political and social changes.The memoir is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different period of Yeats' life. The first part, Childhood, covers Yeats' early years in Dublin and Sligo, where he was born. The second part, Adolescence, covers his teenage years and his growing interest in literature and the arts. The third part, Youth, covers his early adulthood, his travels, and his experiences as a young writer.Throughout the book, Yeats reflects on his relationships with his family and friends, his experiences with love and romance, and his struggles with his own identity and sense of purpose. He also discusses the cultural and political climate of Ireland during his youth, including the Irish Literary Revival, the Easter Rising, and the struggle for Irish independence.Reveries Over Childhood And Youth is a beautifully written memoir that offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and mind of one of Ireland's greatest poets. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Irish literature, history, or culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
