This is the first of a projected 14-volume edition of Yeats's work issued under the general editorship of Finneran and George Mills Harper. Volume 1 is actually a reissue, slightly revised, of Finneran's The Poems (LJ 1/84). To this latest edition he adds four previously uncollected poems and makes a few minor editorial changes. While The Variorum Edition of the Poems of W.B. Yeats (Macmillan, 1957) remains a standard source for scholars, Finneran's edition is the definitive reading text. And while it adds little new material, this volume (along with those forthcoming) should be part of any serious subject collection.-- Michael Hennessy, Southwest Texas State Univ., San Marcos correction: The Poems of Paul Celan ( LJ 5/15/89) , to have been published in May by Persea Books, will now be published in June.

Yeats, Volume XII: John Sherman and Dhoya is part of a fourteen-volume series overseen by eminent Yeats scholars Richard J. Finneran and George Mills Harper. The series includes virtually all of the Nobel laureate's published work, with authoritative and explanatory textual notes. First published in 1891, John Sherman and Dhoya was Yeats's third separate publication. The stories were revised and reprinted in the 1908 Collected Works in Verse and Prose but not published again in Yeats's lifetime. John Sherman, Yeats's only completed attempt at realistic fiction, details the title character's dilemma: He must choose between life in London and marriage to Margaret Leland, an English girl, and life in Ireland and marriage to a childhood sweetheart, Mary Carton. In addition to containing numerous autobiographical elements (for instance, the town of Ballah is modeled on Yeats's Sligo), the novelette treats many of Yeats's persistent themes, such as the debate between nationality and cosmopolitanism and the conflict between what he would later call the Self and the Anti-self. In the end, Sherman reaffirms his Irish roots, and Margaret Leland's affections are transferred to Sherman's friend, the Reverend William Howard. Dhoya, a mythological tale set in the remote past, depicts a liaison between a mortal and a fairy, a motif that Yeats used in many other works. Describing the inevitable conflict between a world of perfection and the mortal world, the short story suggests that 'only the changing, and moody, and angry, and weary can love.' Well received by most contemporary reviewers, John Sherman and Dhoya are important both as works of fiction and as indications of the fundamental continuity of subject and theme in Yeats's career. This edition offers an accurate text, an introduction, and explanatory notes. inventory #25654. Seller Inventory # z25654
