Yeats, W. B. Four Plays For Dancers
New York Macmillan 1921 First Edition Hard Cover Dulac, Edmund
Very Good+ in a Very Good+ dustjacket. Decorative black and gray boards quarterbound in black cloth. Paper label on the spine. Octavo. [xi] + 138pps., with 7 illustrations by Dulac. There is light bumping and rubbing wear to the tips and the spine-ends. Also, the front endpapers are browned, as if a clipping had been laid in for a period of time. Otherwise clean, bright, and soundly bound. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket -- glossy in a mylar sleeve, of a rather sturdy linen stock, and having the same Dulac artwork as the front board -- has shallow chipping along its upper edges (as the jacket is slightly taller than the boards); there is, also, a 2" fully closed and unobtrusive tear extending down from the top of the front panel. The original price (2.00) is intact. A very nice, collector's-quality copy -- scarce in its dustjacket -- and valued for the work of both artist and author.
"...This book contains 'At The Hawk's Well,' 'The Only Jealousy of Emer,' 'The Dreaming of the Bones,' and 'Calvary.' It includes also a note on the first performance of 'At The Hawk's Well' and 'The Dreaming of the Bones.' In an interesting preface the author gives his views as to how the plays should be produced; and concludes by saying that none of them could have existed if Mr. Edmund Dulac had not taught him the value and beauty of the mask and rediscovered how to design and make it..."
