This manuscript has now been released for publication in its entirety for the first time. Although Yeats was to draw heavily on this early autobiography in the memoirs which were published in Autobiographies, he excluded much for reasons of tact and privacy: intimate conversations with Maud Gonne, a memoir of his relationship with 'Diana Vernon', an account of his sexual development in youth and early manhood, and meditations on his own character. Many details which are now of interest concerning Ireland's political and literary history were also omitted. Yeats's autobiography is a work of great significance, made doubly interesting because of this new material. Also included is the full text of a Journal he began in 1908, and kept intermittently until 1930, noting down drafts of poems and reminiscences of which he remarked, 'They are quite frank and the part that cannot be printed while I am alive is the amusing part.' Yeats published a good deal of the material (notably in Estrangement and The Death of Synge) but here too there is much that is new. The text has been edited by Denis Donoghue, professor of Modern English and American literature at University College Dublin, who is at present writing the definitive life of Yeats. These two works should make a lively companionship. The book is an important document for scholars, and the general reader will find it a fascinating self revelation of a remarkable man and a major poet.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. 1st UK edition. [nice clean copy, just slightly bumped at the top of the spine but otherwise unblemished; the jacket is very lightly rubbed, with some minor wrinkling at the spine ends and an infinitesimal closed tear at the bottom of the front panel; it was also slightly mis-folded onto the book at the front foldover, with a resulting vertical wrinkle/crease along the left edge of the front flap]. (B&W photographs) An endlessly fascinating read-through of the correspondence files of the legendary producer of GONE WITH THE WIND and other classics (and an occasional non-classic) -- albeit, as editor Behlmer explains in his foreword, presenting "a rather one-sided case, with no opportunity for the several victims of Selznick's unhappiness or, in some instances, wrath, to offer rebuttals or countercharges." The selection of memos -- from among two thousand file boxes of Selznick's papers -- was a monumental task, and although it was by necessity a highly selective process, at the end you feel like you've gotten a pretty comprehensive picture of DOS -- "at times pontificating and overly fussy," as the editor allows, but "also brilliant, knowledgeable, tasteful, painstaking, and possessed by what he was doing." The book itself was something of a landmark of cinema scholarship: never before had a book of film history (or biography) been presented as an assemblage of primary documents, and it's not saying too much to state that it raised the bar for future film historians' excavation of such archives. Quite fittingly included in the important bibliography "100 Books on Hollywood & the Movies." ****NOTE that additonal postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book (which is a little bit heftier, in fact, than the original American edition); if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** (xx). …
