Essays Irish and American by John Butler Yeats (1839 - 1922).


This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/essays-irish-and-american-by-john-butler-yeats/
From the noted artist and father of the celebrated Irish poet William Butler Yeats comes this short collection of essays on the literary life of their age. Included are two short biographical remembrances of the author. ( Larry Wilson)
    1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
    2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
    3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
    4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/62939
    5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

      Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard

Good grief! How did I get Samuel in there?
I have John in all my references and copy and paste . . . .
Well, thanks for putting it all straight.

Ready for readers, and a DPL would be appreciated.

I may claim something if there are sections still open in a week or two or three. ("The Modern Woman" does look very interesting)

for now, section 1 is PL okay!

Hi Silverquill,

It was recorded using Reaper on Windows with an analogue mic.
I've posted it on the forum to be OKayed.

I would like to be credited using my real name: Yash Srivastava
