Item description from seller

"W. B. Yeats revised his prose as assiduously as he did his poems. This book makes available for the first time authoritative texts of a distinct and coherent unit of Yeat's fiction. In 1897, Yeats completed The Secret Rose, a collection of seventeen stories; the stories were often republished, and each time Yeats modified the texts. The revisions of specific passages were extensive; in addition, he grouped and regrouped the stories, abandoning three and adding one. This variorum edition brings together all the stories associated with The Secret Rose. The basic text is taken from the page proofs of the deluxe edition of Yeats's collected works, set by Macmillan in 1931 and corrected by the author, but never published." Octavo: xxxiv, 271, [5] pp. Original brown cloth binding, with dark brown and yellow-stamped titling. A fine, unread copy in a near fine dust jacket with some light rubbing.
