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.
