Opis

These volumes complete the Oxford English Texts edition of Cowper's poems, and include most of his finest works, from much-anthologized short poems like "The Poplar-Field" and "The Retired Cat" to longer works such as "The Cast-Away."

Recenzje

Volume III maintains both the high standard of scholarship set by the earlier volumes, and Clarendon's reputation for high-quality editions, with real bottom-of-the-page footnotes: now an almost old-world grace. I came across no errors, and rarely wished for an explanatory note that was not suppled ... If there is even a flicker of interest in Cowper out there, this volume should fan and nourish it.
