Selected Edited Edward Mendelson (1 results)

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Readers Copy of an Uncorrected Proof of the Expanded Second Edition of Auden's SELECTED POEMS in the Vintage Original paperback edition. "The original edition lacked poems that have become popular more recently, such as 'Funeral Blues,' and was weighted toward the poet's more serious side. Realizing that Auden's lighter, more comic works are just as brilliant, Mendelson redresses the imbalance, giving readers the pleasure of experiencing the many facets of Auden's art in one volume. Also new are brief notes explaining references that have become obscure to younger generations of readers, and a revised introduction that tells us more about Auden's emotional life than was known in 1979." Pristine, clean & tight copy, unread in Very Good condition; no creases in spine, no age toning on pages, sharp corners, w/generic uncorrected proof cover of Vintage ARCs; quite presentable.
