Omschrijving
Volumes 4 and 5 of this complete collection of Hardy's poetry contain all of his dramatic writing in verse. Explanatory notes describe each work's composition and publication, and provide supporting material from Hardy's letters and notebooks. Production and performance details are also included.
The esteem in which The Dynasts was held for over thirty years after Hardy's death has landed it in the Oxford English Texts, and its editor has paid it the compliment of restoring it to Hardy's poetical works. He has also treated its text with the scholarly minuteness such a masterwork deserves...this thorough edition of Hardy's master works is a landmark in hardy scholarship, and should be a point of reference for all commentators on Hardy.
meticulous edition
With Volumes IV and V Samuel Hynes completes his immensely painstaking, definitive edition of Hardy's 'poetical works', begun in 1982. The effect is to throw the text, as Hynes establishes it, into clear relief. He does, indeed, establish it: his 'editorial task' has been to reconcile the several differing editions.
On each page of these two volumes there is clear evidence of Samuel Hynes's meticulous scholarship and enormous dedication. The textual variants alone are extraordinarily large in number, but Professor Hynes has supplemented them with explanatory notes, fascinating introductions, and a series of useful appendices.
These two volumes complete this important edition.
Hynes's choice of copy-text gives particular clarity to the listing, at the foot of the page, of all printed variants.
