Description

Lawrence began composing poems in 1905 and published eleven collections of his poetry between 1913 and 1932. This critical edition includes these collections as well as unpublished poetry preserved in his notebooks, freshly transcribed and annotated. A 1916 sequence of war poems, 'All of Us', is published for the first time. Poems and all versions of Lawrence's own prefaces to his collections of verse are in the first volume, while the second volume consists of explanatory notes, textual apparatus and a comprehensive study of the composition, publication and reception of the poetry. These two volumes complete the Cambridge Edition of the Works of D. H. Lawrence, making his complete works now available in authoritative scholarly editions.

Description

Lawrence composed and revised poems from 1905 to 1930, and had collections of poems published from 1913 to 1932. Volume 3 includes his uncollected poems and many early versions; versions in his first two collections, Love Poems and Others and Amores, are published in full. The chronological ordering of uncollected poems and early versions in this volume makes developments in theme and style readily traceable and offers new perspectives on each period of his verse-writing. The perspective offered by the last poems Lawrence wrote in the USA, 'O! Americans!' and 'Change of Life', differs from that of Birds, Beasts and Flowers, for example, and the two last poems that Lawrence composed are prose poems, uncollected in The Last Poems Notebook. All manuscript and notebook verse is freshly transcribed, and all poems are fully annotated and critically edited in this, the fortieth and final volume in The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D. H. Lawrence.
