About This Item
Dublin: The Cuala Press, 1941. Correspondence by three giants of the Irish literary theatre. Not much can be said about Yeats and Shaw; but the fascinating actress/feminist Florence Farr (1860-1917) is less-known today. Among other attributes, she was a Muse for Yeats and the first actress to perform Ibsen in England. This is a Very Good copy of the True First Edition, which was LIMITED to 500 copies. Not common today. Edited by the English dramatist Clifford Bax (1886-1962). Blue-gray paper-covered boards with a linen spine; paper label on the spine, titling in black on the front cover. Clean text; unpaginated for eight pages, then 85 pages. Printed by Esther Ryan and Maire Gill on Irish paper. Bumped, with some creasing to the front cover; erasures to the FFEP. Lacking the glassine wrapper; in an archival plastic protector.. Limited. Hard Cover. Very Good (Plus)/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
