About this book

Volume 4 of Yeats's 'Vision' Papers presents four documents that represent Yeats's earliest attempts to craft A Vision from the Automatic Script he and his wife George generated beginning in 1917. The volume includes a manuscript and typescript of 'The Discoveries of Michael Robartes' (a dialogue between two favourite symbolic and fictional characters), an untitled manuscript also in dialogue form, and a document labelled Version B, an early draft of the twenty-eight Phases of the Moon from A Vision.
