A Reader''s Guide to Yeats''s A Vision

English

By (author): Neil Mann

W. B. Yeats is one of the most important writers in English of the twentieth century, and the system of A Vision is generally recognized as fundamental to the power and achievement of his later poetry. Yet this strange mixture of esoteric geometry, lunar symbolism, and sweeping generalization has proven frustrating to generations of readers, who have found it obscure in both matter and presentation. This book helps readers to approach and understand the origins, structure, and implications of the system. Concentrating on the 1937 revised edition of A Vision, the treatment is divided into major topic areas with several levels: a general introduction to each topic; a fuller and deeper examination of that topic, drawing on A Vision's two versions and the manuscript background, and forming the bulk of each chapter; an examination of how the topic manifests in Yeats's literary work; full notes to explore conceptual and textual problems. The first three chapters examine the background and origins of A Vision; the central seven chapters look at the major elements involved in the system; the following four at the major processes of life and history. The main treatment ends with a summary and conclusion, and is supplemented by a glossary of terms and appendices. See more

About Neil Mann

Neil Mann works as an editor translator and teacher and as an independent scholar specializing in the works of W. B. Yeats particularly his esoteric interests and A Vision. He is one of the readers who is simultaneously frustrated and fascinated by A Vision and the system that W. B. Yeats and his wife George elaborated through years of occult experiment and personal research. In 2002 he created the website YeatsVision.com as a resource for those seeking to understand this work better and this book is the result of some forty years of engagement with A Vision Yeats's work as a whole and the background of nineteenth-century spirituality.
