The Countess Kathleen
William Butler Yeats
YEATS, William Butler (1865-1939). The Countess Kathleen. London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1892.
First edition, one of 30 copies bound in Japan vellum and signed by the publisher. Yeats's second collection of poetry explores themes of Irish myth, as well as the poet's burgeoning interest in mysticism and the occult—he had joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn only two years prior to its publication. See Wade 6.
