Yeats's Shakespeare

In Yeats's Shakespeare, the first full-length study of Yeatss interest in Shakespeare, Rupin W. Desai explores how Shakespearean works influenced Yeatss poetry and mythological drama. Exploring Shakespeares sonnets and Yeatss poetry, Desai illustrates the deep degree to which Yeats identifies with Shakespeare, even to the extent of including some of Shakespeares heroes in his own late poetry. Yeatss Shakespeare also includes an appendix that lists in detail all of Yeatss references to Shakespeares works.
