The Gonne-Yeats Letters 1893-1938
ISBN: 9780393332667 / Angielski / Miękka / 564 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is harsh exercise to put into cold print and to bare all the faults of such subjective things as letters written 'in great haste' in the middle of a busy active life, and it requires the kindness and tolerance of the reader. Nuances in the handwriting, or insertion of omitted words and afterthoughts, or positioning of postscripts, are all lost in printing; while irregularities in spelling, punctuation, abbreviations and repetitious phrases are exaggerated. The few of Yeat's letters to Maud Gonne that have survived were scattered through old bundles of correspondence. The only two kept...

Whether sharing his anxieties about his writing, consoling bereaved friends, complaining about the meanness of a patron or defending himself against malicious gossip, John Donne reveals himself in his letters with a directness that can be found nowhere else in his writings.
