  This research monograph explores Yeats' use of "A Vision" to order his creative works. Given the difficulties and controversies in establishing a definite order to the Collected Poems, this study adds to the discussion of how Yeats chose to view his work as a whole, and how he went about the process of "experiencing" his canon.

• Yeats as Father in the Last Four Poems in Michael Robartes and the Dancer

  The Yeats Journal of Korea

  Abstract: It is a given that Yeats wrote and/or assembled books of poems. Some collections of poems within books inform one another within the larger arc of the book as a whole and, as a result, an examination of how poems placed adjacent to one another deepens readers’ and scholars’ appreciation and understanding of the poems. This is certainly the case of the final four poems of Michael Robartes and the Dancer, which shows Yeats wrestling with a new father’s complicated feelings about having a beloved daughter born in troubling times. Key words: Yeats, Michael Robartes and the Dancer, “The Second Coming”, “A Prayer for My Daughter”, “A Meditation in Time of War”, “To Be Carved on a Stone at Thoor Ballylee.”

• Reinvention and Recovery: A Brief View of Yeats's Conception of Time and Its Role in His Persona and Works

  The Yeats Journal of Korea: An International Journal of Yeats and Modern Literature

  W. B. Yeats conceptualized time differently from his contemporaries and most of his fellow poets. Most view and employ time as a progression or as a metaphorical being. Yeats, like William Blake, also engages with time and its relationship to the eternal  all time perceived in a single instant. This difference in outlook, born out of a stew of bardic, folkloric, physical and metaphysical outlooks, fundamentally impacted his outlook and his work.

• W. B. Yeats’s A Vision: ‘Dove or Swan’

  W. B. Yeats's "A Vision": Explications and Contexts

  "About the Book (from http://www.clemson.edu/cedp/cudp/pubs/vision/index.html) W. B. Yeats's "A Vision": Explications and Contexts is the first volume of essays devoted to A Vision and the associated system developed by W. B. Yeats and his wife, George. A Vision is all-encompassing in its stated aims and scope, and it invites a wide range of approaches—as demonstrated in the essays collected here, written by the foremost scholars in the field. The first six essays present explications of broader themes in A Vision itself: the system's general principles; incarnate life and the Faculties; discarnate life and the Principles; how Yeats relates his own work to other philosophical approaches; and his consideration of the historical process. A further three essays include an examination of the elusive Thirteenth Cone, a consideration of astrological features in the automatic script, and a view of the poetry within A Vision. The final five essays look at contextual themes, whether of collaboration and influence—between husband, wife, and spirits, or with another poet—or the gender perspective within these interrelations, the historical context of Golden-Dawn occultism or the broader political context of fascism in the 1920s and 1930s. Throughout, the different contributors take a variety of stances with regard to texts and the automatic script. This is an important contribution to Yeats scholarhip in general and a landmark in studies of A Vision."
