"Later Articles and Reviews" draws together 54 prose pieces published between 1900 and Yeats's death in January 1939. The variety of the pieces here reflect the range of Yeats's interests in his maturity. We see him in his various roles as Irish senator, modern poet and a distinguished essayist, writing on a range of topics, from the Abbey Theatre to his own evolution as a poet. The volume also includes transcripts of ten radio programmes broadcast by Yeats between 1931 and 1937. An appendix and notes section supplement the texts.
