Jack and Anne Rudloe Papers
MS Group 109

PART II:  Books. 1965 [bulk 1968]-1996. 25 Boxes.

Jack Rudloe's six published books are all represented in the papers in quantities ranging from draft fragments and proof copies of his earliest book, The Sea Brings Forth, to extensive documentation of  later works. The manuscript that exists for his second book, The Erotic Ocean, is substantially different than the published text. Because of differences in manuscript and published versions, much of this manuscript material is unpublished.  The early drafts of The Living Dock at Panacea, as explained below, were split into two books, only one of which was published. Only a small amount of the material that appears to have been gathered and written about Turtle Mother was actually used in Search for the Great Turtle Mother. Much of the remainder is either unpublished, or, in some cases, went into magazine articles.

Correspondence relating to a specific work may be found in this section, but a check of the correspondence in the General Papers may also be fruitful.

The "Books" are described as follows: The Sea Brings Forth (1968), The Erotic Ocean (1971), The Living Dock at Panacea (1977), The Wilderness Coast (1988), Time of the Turtle (1979), and Search for the Great Turtle Mother (1995). In addition to the two books on turtles, the Papers contain his and Anne's National Geographic article on turtles, a "turtle" subject file, and minor turtle references throughout.

LIVING DOCK AT PANACEA, 1977. 6 Boxes

        There are at least two major versions of this title, the published work which is a natural
history of the waters around Panacea and Rudloe's dock, and an earlier version which is
more of an account of his environmental conflicts in and around Panacea. He referred to
the latter, called "The Passing of Panacea," as the "angry young man speaking out" version. This account corresponds in narrative form to much of the documentation in the Conservation files.
The published version, according to Rudloe, combined nature chapters from "The Passing of
Panacea," and chapters from another unpublished work called "Seasons of the Sea"
(Correspondence, Letter to McIntosh & Otis, Dec. 5, 1974).

Box 4 includes papers which appear to relate primarily to the published work. The bulk, boxes
five through seven, relate primarily to the "Passing of Panacea." Boxes eight and nine contain other writings and draft fragments that might relate to either version, or appear somewhat out of the scope of either. A page proof and other material relating to the Fulcrum reprint, The Living Dock (1988) is also found in box nine.
