Yeats, Volume XIII: A Vision\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eA Vision\u003c\/i\u003e is Yeats's greatest occult work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 (née 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 \u003ci\u003eA Vision\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eA Vision\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Butler Yeats is generally considered to be Ireland's greatest poet, living or dead, and one of the most important literary figures of the twentieth century.
