It provides teachers, students & the general reader w/ an affordable paperback of the central body of the work which the Sunday Telegraph described as "the best edition this century of the best poet of the last century". "Tennyson: A Selected Edition" is drawn from Christopher Ricks' own "The Poems of Tennyson", which first appeared in 1969 & was published as a second 3-volume edition in 1987. Acclaimed by both the literary & academic worlds, it is acknowledged as a major achievement of editorial scholarship & has established itself as the authoritative edition of the great poet of the Victorian age. "Tennyson: A Selected Edition" includes in full all four of Tennyson's long poems ("The Princess", "In Memoriam", "Maud" & "Idylls of the King") as well as all the great poems, including "Mariana", "The Lady of Shalott", "Morte d'Arthur", "Ulysses" & "Tithonus". In addition, & of vital importance to the scholar & student, this edition retains all the head-notes & footnotes from the complete edition, which shed valuable light on context & composition & which illuminate the wealth of allusion, classical & other, that Tennyson brought to bear within his poetry. Now in this corrected edition, "Tennyson: A Selected Edition" will remain the standard edition for many years to come. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: CHRISTOPHER RICKS is Warren Professor of the Humanities at Boston University & co-director of the Editorial Institute.
