Abbreviations
References to Yeats’s work are abbreviated and parenthetically inserted. To avoid the clutter of citing page numbers for poems, all are referenced by title. However, to enable readers to date the versions quoted, the list in the Index of poems includes the page numbers in The Variorum Edition of the Poems of W. B. Yeats, ed. Peter Allt and Russell K. Alspach New York: Macmillan, 1957. For the convenience of most readers, I’ve cited the one-volume Allan Wade Letters rather than the definitive but less accessible multi-volume Oxford edition. In all quotes the italics are mine, unless otherwise stated.
