Description

"Words for Music Perhaps and Other Poems (1932) has been called W. B. Yeats's finest single volume. It features not only the great series for which it is named - a series that includes the Crazy Jane poems - but also single poems such as "Byzantium" and "Coole Park, 1929." This edition records every draft, from Yeats's first notion to the published version, a majority both in facsimile (in Yeats's fiercely illegible hand) and in faithful transcription on facing pages. A census of manuscripts identifies the source among Yeats's papers of each draft, and appendixes trace the writing of the poems through notebooks, loose manuscripts, and galley proofs with Yeats's corrections and copious additions."--BOOK JACKET.
