Rewriting The Hour-Glass

A Play Written in Prose and Verse Versions by W. B. Yeats

Edited by Wayne K. Chapman

Rewriting The Hour-Glass offers a new approach to the display and delineation of texts, visual aids, and published variants and presents for the first time a complete array of amendments that Yeats made in copies of the relevant editions that he had at hand. The edition brings together the play’s source from Lady Wilde, all of Yeats’s associated prefaces and notes, his lecture “The Reform of the Theatre,” and selections from contemporary reviews.
