"The Collected Works of W. B. Yeats, Volume XIII: A Vision" is part
of a fourteen-volume series under the general editorship of eminent
Yeats scholar George Bornstein and formerly the late Richard J.
Finneran and George Mills Harper. One of the strangest works of
literary modernism, "A Vision" is Yeats's greatest occult work.
Edited by Yeats scholars Catherine E. Paul and Margaret Mills
Harper, the volume presents the "system" of philosophy, psychology,
history, and the life of the soul that Yeats and his wife George
(nee Hyde Lees) received and created by means of mediumistic
experiments from 1917 through the early 1920s. Yeats obsessively
revised the book, and the revised 1937 version is much more widely
available than its predecessor. The original 1925 version of "A
Vision," poetic, unpolished, masked in fiction, and close to the
excitement of the automatic writing that the Yeatses believed to be
its supernatural origin, is presented here in a scholarly edition
for the first time.
The text, minimally corrected to retain the sense of the original,
is extensively annotated, with particular attention paid to the
relationship between the published book and its complex genetic
materials. Indispensable to an understanding of the poet's late
work and entrancing on its own merit, "A Vision" aims to be, all at
once, a work of theoretical history, an esoteric philosophy, an
aesthetic symbology, a psychological schema, and a sacred book. It
is as difficult as it is essential reading for any student of
Yeats.
