At last - a complete new edition of the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson.During his lifetime Stevenson published A Child's Garden of Verses (1885), Penny Whistles, Underwoods (1887) and Ballads (1890). There were also various private press adventures in poetry with his stepson Lloyd Osbourne, and the posthumous Songs of Travel (1895), and New Poems (1918). This new edition contains these collections and also some of Stevenson's printed and manuscript poems that have never been published in any collection. The edition also identifies and restores various poems assembled by Stevenson in his Notebooks, many of which were mutilated by members of The Boston Bibliophile Society.The editor, Roger Lewis, has carefully studied Stevenson's manuscripts and letters, identifying many variants in individual poems and in orders of his collections, as well as in the editorial procedures of a succession of RLS's literary associates who claimed to be fulfilling his intentions or acting on his authority.The ordering of this edition will follow Stevenson's own final arrangement over unauthorised editorial rearrangments or strict considerations of chronology. Complete and accurate dates of composition and publication of individual poems and of collections are given wherever possible.Appendices include bibliographical description and location for manuscript and printed sources of all poems in the edition; 'poems in process' - how Stevenson sketched and revised during composition; notebooks - bibliographical history and significance; chronology and ordonnance of poetic units. There are also explanatory and textual notes. Scots poems are glossed and annotated using The Concise Scots Dictionary and web resources of the SNDA.A substantial introduction covers the publishing histories of individual volumes and literary influences, placing emphasis on Stevenson as a Scottish poet and arguing for his best verse to be considered
The author of Treasure Island and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde reveals his more sensitive, vulnerable face in this collection of verse that ranges widely in style, from folk lyrics to conversational musings, celebrating love, friendship, and nostalgia, among other topics dear to the writer. Reprint.
The classic book of children's poetry that immortalized "The Land of Counterpane," "The Land of Nod," "My Shadow," and "Foreign Land."
Stevenson is most famed for his A Child's Garden of Verses but he wrote many other poems of great charm and literary value. This, the first in a two volume collection of Stevenson's poetry, brings a new annotated edition of A Child's Garden of Verses together with his other poems, placing the classic in the context of the lesser-known poems. The new edition of A Child's Garden of Verses restores the finesse, variety and verbal felicity of the children's classic and sheds light on concepts of childhood, Stevenson's own life and the essential elements of poetic form. A scholarly and lively introduction provides the historical background to the composition and publication of all the poems in this collection, as well as being a useful preliminary to more serious study. The Collected Poems of Robert Louis Stevenson is designed to interest the general reader as well as the specialist.
"Of all my verse, like not a single line; But like my title, for it is not mine." -Robert Louis Stevenson, Underwoods Underwoods (1887), by Robert Louis Stevenson, is a collection of original poetry that Stevenson wrote during one of the most prolific periods of his career. Like his more famous collection, A Child's Garden of Verses, it was inspired by the author's own childhood and is written in both English and his native Scots.
