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. He is the author of "Tennyson" (second edition, 1989) & is the co-editor (w/ Aidan Day) of "The Tennyson Archive", which reproduces in facsimile Tennyson's manuscripts (31 vols., 1987-93). RIcks has also edited "The New Oxford Book of English Verse" & "The New Oxford Book of Victorian Verse" (1989). He was Professor of Poetry at Oxford for the term 2004-2009. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for an additional below-cost fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS AIRMAIL to all international destinations.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. An exceptional gathering of British & American observations on English as the sensitive register of our ideas, feelings, and manners at the beginning of the 1980s. 3rd printing. 609pp. Published in Association with the English-Speaking Union, San Francisco Branch. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "What are we doing with words today? In original short essays and poems, many of the gifted writers of our day--novelists, linguists, literary critics, philosophers, politicians, people in law, business, and the arts--offer informed and lively responses to this question. They discuss topics as different as liturgical English and the language of popular music; the language of legal interpretation and the play-talk of children; the use of dialects; the language of philosophy, women, and computers; and the state of letter writing. For the authors in this book, English is not only crucial to their work, but also a sensitive record of the way we think and feel about--indeed create--our world. Touching on much of contemporary life--art, religion, sex, science, politics, education, business--the essayists together embrace what is vital and distinctive in our language as we enter the 1980s."
