About this title

Synopsis

During the research for her biography of Francis Thompson, Between Heaven and Charing Cross, (Yale University Press, 1988) it became clear to Brigid Boardman that a new edition of his poetry was essential for a full recognition of the range and variety of his work. He remains known for his great poem 'The Hound of Heaven' but his work as a whole has never been properly presented. When the biography was published the need for a new edition was confirmed by a number of the reviews. As a result of her work on the Francis Thompson Collection at the John J. Burns Library, Boston College, Massachusetts, and elsewhere, the poetry can now be presented fully and fairly, correcting the errors and omissions of previous editions. About two-thirds of the previously published poems are available in manuscript and these texts are reproduced as faithfully as possible, while footnotes point out where the edited versions have departed from them. In addition there is a sizeable number of hitherto unpublished poems that now add to our understanding of Thompson as a poet.
