Description

Edwin Muir was one of Scotland's, and Europe's, greatest poets of the 20th century. All the poetry published by Muir in his lifetime is collected here in this volume, plus those works published after his death and a number of poems and versions of poems left out of previous collections. The poems are arranged, where appropriate, in sections representing the separate volumes of verse published by Muir himself, with additional poems printed in appendices. Professor Butter's notes identify when each of Muir's poems were written, and where. He quotes earlier versions and Muir's own comments, in letters and notebooks, on his poetry, its genesis and meaning. "The Complete Poems of Edwin Muir" is a work of tremendous scholarship and an essential resource for anyone studying 20th-century literature, as well as a treasure-trove of poetry.
