Cover
Ohio University Press, 1990 - 165 Seiten
For the last twenty years Mason's work (first published in 1966) has been the standard edition of the poems and letters of this young black poet of 18th century Boston. This new edition has been extensively revised in light of new scholarship and has been expanded to include all of Wheatley's 55 poems and 22 letters, the significant variants of poems, and the four Proposals for publication of her works, all of them annotated. Paper edition (unseen) $12.95. Burris (English, U. of Arkansas) examines Heaney's pastoral poems, a form historically political, demonstrating how the poet has modernized and extended the form. Burris argues that Heaney's achievements have satisfied the aesthetic demands of art as well as responsibly addressing the turmoil in his society.
