Description

The Collected Works of W.B. Yeats Volume XIII: A Vision The Original 1925 Version A Vision, the 1925 version of Yeats's magnum opus, presents the poet's system of philosophy, psychology, history, and the life of the soul, as received through mediumistic experiments with his wife George Hyde Lees. This unpolished, poetic work is a window into the Yeatses's supernatural beliefs and their automatic writing practices. Edited by scholars Catherine E. Paul and Margaret Mills Harper, this scholarly edition minimally corrects the original text to retain its sense while providing extensive annotations. The result is a complex, multifaceted work that defies easy categorization. A Vision is a worthwhile read for any student of Yeats, offering insights into his late work and its unique blend of theoretical history, esoteric philosophy, and aesthetic symbology.
