Publisher's Synopsis
Quoting copiously from the so-called 'Automatic Script' Professor Harper has traced the Yeats' incredible experiments with psychical experiences. Over a period of about thirty months they collaborated in 450 sittings, Yeats asking questions and his wife responding in a total of more than three-and-a-half thousand pages. As the only person apart from Yeats himself to have studied the unpublished and relatively unknown materials upon which A Vision is based, Professor Harper is uniquely placed to have prepared this fascinating study. He explains the Script and traces its projections through the notebooks in A Vision and many poems and plays.
