The W.B. And George Yeats Library: A Short Title Catalog, Wayne K. Chapman

Bibliographic Studies

This catalog of bibliographic citations accounts for every publi-cation identified as part of the W. B. Yeats Library, which, since the death of Anne Yeats in 2001, has become a distinct part of the National Library of Ireland (NLI). In effect, the alphabetical list not counting publications that were sold or otherwise dispersed by the poet or his wife, George Yeats, in their lifetimes, or by members of their family up to 1971, when the late Glenn O’Malley of Arizona State University made an inventory that became the foundation for SUNY Professor Edward O’Shea’s A Descriptive Catalog of the W. …

The Works Of William Blake, Edwin Ellis, W. B. Yeats

Bibliographic Studies

As one of the significant nineteenth-century developments in the dissemination of Blake's poetry, this book also made an ambitious attempt to interpret the poet's vatic approach to the making of literature. Today, this classic of 1893 is still illuminating for the lifetime influence it had on one of its editors, W. B. Yeats, who became perhaps the twentieth century's greatest poet in English and, like Blake, a visionary one, at that.

Presently, disparate parts of the book's three volumes may be found on the Internet but not all three. This online facsimile is the first to present all three simply …

Verses 1856-1884, A Critical Edition By Elizabeth Dickinson West, Wayne K. Chapman

Bibliographic Studies

Like any critical edition, this book engages with and acknowledges a number of texts, particularly Verses by E.D.W. (i.e., Elizabeth Dickinson West (1875, 1883). The poet was the student and thereafter the second wife of Edward Downden, the inspiration behind his posthumous published collection of lyric poems, A Woman's Reliquary (Cudo Press, 1913). This edition of her work is the only one that gathers in one place all of her original poems, including some manuscript versions of published and unpublished work.

Lyrical Ballads 1798: A Critical Edition By William Wordsworth And Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Wayne K. Chapman

Bibliographic Studies

This book is the product of collaboration between Dr. Wayne K. Chapman and the students of his Literary Editing class (English 441/641) during eight of the sixteen weeks of fall semester 2011 at Clemson University. Like any critical edition, it engages with and acknowledges a number of precursor texts, the most evident being the four editions of Lyrical Ballads that mark the success of the once experimental verse that the poets ventured to publish, at first anonymously, in 1798, as well as the commemorative facsimiles published by David Nutt (London) and edited by prolific scholar, editor, and poet Edward Dowden …

Edward Dowden: A Critical Edition Of The Complete Poetry, Wayne K. Chapman

Bibliographic Studies

Published online as a special issue of The South Carolina Review (vol. 42, no. 3, summer 2010), this volume reintroduces Edward Dowden, a significant poet of the nineteenth century, to a modern audience which has forgotten, probably, that this distinguished Irish authority on Shakespeare, Goethe and Shelley thought of himself as a poet first. Our perception of Dowden today is that he was a better critic than he was a poet; and in the main, this judgment may be sound, but it goes untested due to the scarcity of his poetic works. Without the commitment he made to his academic …
