초록
Yeats’s work stresses the creation of multiple selves in his poetry and other work. Yeats also revised obsessively, and the differences between versions of his works are important in finding their meanings. The philosophical book A Vision is especially many-faceted, emphasizing multiple aspects of the personality, stages of the soul, and versions of historical and spiritual truth. A Vision is influenced by Yeats’s small monograph Per Amica Silentia Lunae, a prose work that we can think of as itself double-facing: the end of the romantic Yeats and the beginning of the modernist Yeats. A Vision is itself two books. The differences between the two books (one version published in 1925 and one in 1937) illustrate differences in Yeats’s work in the 1920s and the 1930s. Each book points to itself as existing in one moment rather than standing for atemporal truth. Recognizing A Vision as a book that is two books also draws attention to the importance of this work as co-authored, in the sense that it is the result of the occult collaboration between Yeats and his wife George.
Abstract
Yeats’s work stresses the creation of multiple selves in his poetry and other work. Yeats also revised obsessively, and the differences between versions of his works are important in finding their meanings. The philosophical book A Vision is especially many-faceted, emphasizing multiple aspects of the personality, stages of the soul, and versions of historical and spiritual truth. A Vision is influenced by Yeats’s small monograph Per Amica Silentia Lunae, a prose work that we can think of as itself double-facing: the end of the romantic Yeats and the beginning of the modernist Yeats. A Vision is itself two books. The differences between the two books (one version published in 1925 and one in 1937) illustrate differences in Yeats’s work in the 1920s and the 1930s. Each book points to itself as existing in one moment rather than standing for atemporal truth. Recognizing A Vision as a book that is two books also draws attention to the importance of this work as co-authored, in the sense that it is the result of the occult collaboration between Yeats and his wife George.
