A vision by
W. B Yeats(
Book
)
128 editions published between 1900 and 2014 in 6 languages and held by 2,041 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"First published in 1925, and then substantially revised by the author in 1937, A Vision is a unique work of literary modernism, and revelatory guide to Yeats’s own poetry and thinking. Indispensable to an understanding of the poet’s late work, and entrancing on its own merit, the book presents the “system” of philosophy, psychology, history, and the life of the soul that Yeats and his wife, George, received and created by means of mediumistic experiments from 1917 through the early 1920s. Yeats obsessively revised the original book that he wrote in 1925, and the 1937 version is the definitive version of what Yeats wanted to say." -- Amazon.com

Mythologies by
W. B Yeats(
Book
)
93 editions published between 1951 and 2012 in 4 languages and held by 1,703 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Mythologies was the title W. B. Yeats himself gave to this collection of Irish stories of the supernatural and uncanny, based on country beliefs, traditions, and folk tales, and originally published in the nineties in The Celtic Twilight, The Secret Rose, and Stories of Red Hanrahan. The author's own esoteric speculations and experiences of the same period are described in Rosa Alchemica, The Tables of the Law, and The Adoration of the Magi, and these are followed by Per Amica Silentia Lunae (1917), setting forth the philosophy of the self and antiself which had so marked an influence on his later writings. This book will be essential for all those readers of Yeats' poetry and plays; it reveals that Yeats could work unique enchantment in prose as well as poetry and it further illuminates his extraordinary visionary gifts." - Book jacket

"John Sherman" is the only work of realistic fiction Yeats ever completed. The novelette contains many biographical elements and is of interest for its treatment of Yeats's recurring themes. It examines the debate between nationality and cosmopolitan and looks at the conflict between the self and the anti-self. "Dhoya" depicts a liaison between a mortal and a fairy, a motif that recurs in Yeats's poetry and other works. -- Amazon.com
