Yeats recalls the years from 1887 onward, when he was a young poet in London and Dublin: evenings at William Morris’s house, conversations with Wilde and Henley, the Rhymers’ Club and the doomed poets he called the Tragic Generation, Irish politics after the fall of Parnell, occult experiments, and the friendships with George Russell, Lady Gregory and Synge that shaped the Irish literary revival.
