(YEATS, William Butler). SIDNELL, Michael J., George P. MAYHEW, and David R. CLARK (eds.). Druid Craft : The Writing of The Shadowy Waters. Manuscripts of W.B. Yeats transcribed, edited & with a commentary by [...]. Amherst :The University of Massachusetts Press, 1971. Pp [i]-xxiii,(1),[1]-349,(3). Illustrated. 8vo, brown cloth, silver lettering to spine. Manuscripts of W .B. Yeats, Volume I. “William Butler Yeats conceived The Shadowy Waters around 1883 when he was in his late teens some eighteen years before it was first published as a dramatic poem in 1900. It was not produced as a play until 1904. In this volume the editors bring together prepublication drafts ofthe unique play - until now dispersed and uncorrelated - which show the re visions Yeats made during those twenty some years. Even in this formative period when developing as poet and playwright, Yeats's interest in mythology, and his attempt to penetrate its meaning and to associate mythology and vision is evident." - from the dj.

A British merchant captain recounts "really good yarns of sea life in the 60s and 70s" recounted to him by J.C.B. Jarvis, David Thomson, William Wright, and James Simpson. "[When] I was a young man, there were many thousands of seamen in their sixties and seventies, who had gone to sea in the heyday of Sail, who would have been only too glad to give anyone the story of their sea careers- for I think most of us like to yarn about our lives. The trouble was, th ere was none who wanted to listen, for few of their landsman contemporarieswere interested, and the youngsters, of whom I was one, were too much conc erned with the present and - more vaguely - the golden future, to listen toold-timers rambling about the dead past. [...] It was only when I was much older that I began to get yarns from old seamen and of course by then the really good yarns of sea life in the 1860s and 1870s were no longer available. So I consider myself wonderfully lucky to rescue from oblivion the stories contained in this book." - the dj. Chapters : 1. Emigrants under Sail; 2. Tough Days in California (pp.19-32); 3.
