Dorothea McDowell - Ella Young and Her World: Celtic Mythology, the Irish Revival and the Californian Avant-Garde

Academica Press, 2014. First Edition. Hardcover. SALE Collectible Fine First Edition Hardcover Huge tight 874 pp. Clean NO writing. NOT a library copy B/W photos. NO dust jacket was ever made for this. NO writing in text Ella Young was the conscious reincarnation of an Irish Druidess. Controversial in the extreme but not to the poetic power of her art whether in poetry or in the prose of her Irish Mythicretellings. Her Flowering Dusk autobiography itself is a work of unique flow of consciousness. She was at the nexus or the Irish Renaissance and was assosiate of A.E. W.B. Yeats James Stephens Alice Milligan Maud Gonne Maud Joynt and on and on and then she came to America and the southwest of Taos D. H. Lawrence Ansel Adams and California where she lectured at Berkely. In a small fashion we were happy to reintroduce her in the Seventies in our book catalog and shop and at the Irish Arts Center in N.Y.C. This massive green hardcover has every association, as well as letters and short writings never seen by her and about her. Photos. A huge silver mine of everything Ella Young that will become a collectible treasure. See our Three Geese In Flight Celtic Book Scans of covers Table of Contents and Sample pages. Fine .
