Here, Drs. Clark \u0026amp; McGuire have written an extensive introduction divided into two parts: first, the years 1904 through 1911 when Yeats planned the production with various actors -- Ben Iden Payne, Murray Carson, Charles Power, \u0026amp; Nugent Monck; \u0026amp; second, from 1912 through 1926 when he actually wrote his versions. Profs. Clark \u0026amp; McGuire gleaned their information from Yeats's letters \u0026amp; journals. The remainder of the book describes \u0026amp; presents the versions (Rex 1-5), some of which are transcribed because of the illegibility of Yeats's hand. Photographic copies of Yeats's hand are included.
