Yeats's Mask, Yeats Annual No. 19 is a special issue in this
renowned research-level series. Fashionable in the age of Wilde,
the Mask changes shape until it emerges as Mask in the system of A
Vision. Chronologically tracing the concept through Yeats's plays
and those poems written as 'texts for exposition' of his occult
thought which flowers in A Vision itself (1925 and 1937), the
volume also spotlights 'The Mask before The Mask' numerous plays
including Cathleen Ni-Houlihan, The King's Threshold, Calvary, The
Words upon the Window-pane, A Full Moon in March and The Death of
Cuchulain. There are excurses into studies of Yeats's friendship
with the Oxford don and cleric, William Force Stead, his radio
broadcasts, the Chinese contexts for his writing of 'Lapis Lazuli'.
His self-renewal after The Oxford Book of Modern Verse, and the key
occult epistolary exchange 'Leo Africanus', edited from MSS by
Steve L. Adams and George Mills Harper, is republished from the
elusive Yeats Annual No. 1 (1982). The essays are by David
Bradshaw, Michael Cade-Stewart, Aisling Carlin, Warwick Gould,
Margaret Mills Harper, Pierre Longuenesse, Jerusha McCormack, Neil
Mann, Emilie Morin, Elizabeth Muller and Alexandra Poulain, with
shorter notes by Philip Bishop and Colin Smythe considering Yeats's
quatrain upon remaking himself and the pirate editions of The Land
of Heart's Desire. Ten reviews focus on various volumes of the
Cornell Yeats MSS Series, his correspondence with George Yeats, and
numerous critical studies. Yeats Annual is published by Open Book
Publishers in association with the Institute of English Studies,
University of London.
