Title: Much Labouring
First published: 1997
Description: With a career stretching from the last years of the nineteenth century well into the 1930s, William Butler Yeats is perceived as a key figure in the transition from Romanticism to modernism in English literature. In Much Labouring David Holdeman opens up new paths of thinking about Yeats's modernism by paying close attention to the production of his early books as well as to their publication histories.

Although Much Labouring will particularly interest students of modernism, the uncommon significance of Yeats's textual experiments suggests new perspectives on interpretive and editorial theories and practices generally.
