William Butler Yeats
Two early works by William Butler Yeats are presented in one volume: 'John Sherman' and 'Dhoya'. 'John Sherman' tells the story of a young Irish man who leaves his rural home for the bustle of London, only to find himself longing for the simpler life he left behind. The novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the conflict between tradition and modernity. 'Dhoya' is a shorter, allegorical tale.These stories offer a glimpse into the formative years of one of Ireland’s greatest literary figures and reveal the early development of the themes and styles that would come to define his later work.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
