The Coole Edition

This is a reissue of a much-admired variorum edition of Yeats's stories. 'This edition, which includes previously unpublished texts, gives a text history, which establishes once and for all the extent to which Yeats's work was modified by editors. Truly definitive. Indispensible for any major collection, including public libraries.' Library Journal

"Keynote This new annotated edition of Yeats's indispensable, lifelong work of philosophy, A Vision (1937), is a revised explanation of the poet's greatest occult work"--

This study is a companion to the revised edition of W.B.Yeats, The Poems: A New Edition. Professor Finneran outlines the complex problems facing an editor of Yeats's poetry and explains the solutions adopted in the new text. Manuscript materials are drawn on extensively, including some which have recently come to light in the Scribner Archives at the University of Texas and at Princeton University. Compared with the first edition of this volume (Editing Yeats's Poems, 1983), there is an additional chapter - on the order of the poems - as well as new information on the Scribner Edition and other revisions throughout.
