1965
by Jones, David
1965. [London: 1965].
11 large folio sheets, stapled top right corner. In good condition.
§ "'The Fatigue' was privately printed by friends for David Jones' 70th birthday, on 1 November 1965. David Jones has dated the introduction to the poem August 18th 1965 on page 26. The BBC Third Programme (produced by Douglas Cleverdon) recorded David Jones reading this poem in March 1965. David Jones notes in these files that the poem was 'read on June 3rd 1964 for television' and 'read on Oct. 15 1964 for Brit[ish] Council for Harvard' [library of recordings]. It appears that this 'fragment' was written, or adapted from an earlier work, by David Jones following a request for material to be recorded; this possibly is the original text from which the later book was printed (by Rampant Lions Press). .
