THE POEMS: TWO VOLUME SET

Christopher Pollnitz D.H. Lawrence

The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D.H. Lawrence

The first-ever critical edition on Lawrence's poems presents, in two volumes, Lawrence's published and manuscript verses in their original forms, restoring uncensored versions and correcting errors. The texts are accompanied by explanatory notes, and a comprehensive study of the poems' composition, publication and reception.
The texts are established through rigorous collation of all extant materials, from draft manuscripts to first book publication, identifying errors made by copyists, typists and printers; house-styling by printers; and censorship and bowdlerisation by publishers. The Introduction to each volume gives details of the composition history, publication and reception; the Textual Apparatus records all variants. The Explanatory notes gloss references and allusions, and document sources; the Appendixes include early versions, draft manuscript material, maps and locations essays, historical essays; some volumes have Glossaries of dialect or foreign words.
