Personae - Corrected page proofs of Gallup A3

There are four sets of page proofs, three of them corrected by the author. The first two sets were issued on 13.3.09, while the second two bear the date 19.3.09. In each case, one set was probably kept by the author and the second submitted to the publisher "for the printer". These proofs afford an excellent record of the author's attention to all details, even the fine points of layout and spacing, and also to the development of the collection as a whole. Pound added four poems in the proof stage: two to fill up blank spaces in the text; "Tally-O" and "Search", and two at the end, "And Thus in Nineveh" and "The White Stag". Some of the accidental corrections are suggested by proofreader's queries, but almost all the substantives appear to be the author's. Some notes on the back of an envelope (E.P.C. 50) appear to be Elkin Mathews' corrections to the second set of proofs, and one of these becomes a substantive in the third set of proofs. For variants see "Personae: From Manuscript to Print" [Studies in Bibl. 1981].
