Description

W.B. Yeats's A Vision Explications and Contexts is a comprehensive collection of essays exploring the complex system developed by W.B. Yeats and his wife, George. This first volume in the series delves into the broader themes of 'A Vision', including its general principles, incarnate life, discarnate life, and relationships with other philosophical approaches. The book also examines specific topics such as the elusive 'Thirteenth Cone', astrological features in automatic script, and the poetry within 'A Vision'. Additionally, it looks at contextual themes, including collaboration and influence, gender perspective, historical context of Golden-Dawn occultism, and the broader political context of fascism in the 1920s and 1930s. This collection offers a diverse range of perspectives on 'A Vision' from leading scholars in the field. This book is an important contribution to Yeats scholarship and provides valuable insights into one of the most influential literary systems of the 20th century.
