This volume brings together 19 essays and introductions published by W.B. Yeats after 1912. Included among these is the long essay Per amica silentia lunae - in which Yeats first developed his important doctrine of the mask - widely admired for the luxuriant beauty of its prose.

Introduction to works by Shelley, Balzac, and the philosopher Bishop George Berkeley help to round out the collection.
