This was great! I had been unlucky in finding out what the volumes XI and XIV of W.B. Yeats' works constituted, and now you've help me complete the list. Still, it seems 3 years later XIV is still in tba status.

Just so. Neither of those two volumes seems to have come out yet -- I filled them in from the contents lists on some of the published volumes (accessible on Amazon.com).
