George Yeats, The Countess Cathleen and P. S. O’Hegarty: Notes from the Libraries

Abstract

The present series of notes reflects three problems of mediation and dispersal arising from the study of Yeats’s library, work which frequently results in a comparative account of texts.¹ Like an arithmetical progression, the notes multiply on a single volume in the Yeats library, on three additional texts — including one in the Yeats library — and on thirty others once belonging to the poet. The persons considered here were plainly of consequence.
