W. B. Yeats is one of the most important writers in English of the
twentieth century, and the system of A Vision is generally
recognized as fundamental to the power and achievement of his later
poetry. Yet this strange mixture of esoteric geometry, lunar
symbolism, and sweeping generalization has proven frustrating to
generations of readers, who have found it obscure in both matter
and presentation. This book helps readers to approach and
understand the origins, structure, and implications of the system.
Concentrating on the 1937 revised edition of A Vision, the
treatment is divided into major topic areas with several levels: a
general introduction to each topic; a fuller and deeper examination
of that topic, drawing on A Vision's two versions and the
manuscript background, and forming the bulk of each chapter; an
examination of how the topic manifests in Yeats's literary work;
full notes to explore conceptual and textual problems. The first
three chapters examine the background and origins of A Vision; the
central seven chapters look at the major elements involved in the
system; the following four at the major processes of life and
history. The main treatment ends with a summary and conclusion, and
is supplemented by a glossary of terms and appendices.
