Running to paradise

About this book

Rosenthal's book possesses distinctive strengths which make it a useful and thought-provoking contribution to critical debate...a consistently lucid and engaging performance, whose ideas and observations can prompt fruitful disagreement...All those working on modern poetry have ample reason to be grateful for M. L. Rosenthal's work over the years, and it is a matter of some satisfaction that the critic has produced a book on Yeats which will remain of solid interest and value, provoking further study and consideration of centrally important poetic issues.
