The preface explains the author’s intent to publish a final complete edition while still living, replacing earlier, heavily cut selections. It emphasizes restoring suppressed stanzas, especially political and religious material, and includes previously unpublished pieces and several rhymed plays, reinforcing authenticity of voice.","# POETICAL WORKSLFRID SCAWEN BLUNT\n\nTHE LIBRARY  \nof  \nVICTORIA UNIVERSITY  \nToronto  \nTHE POETICAL WORKS  \nWILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT  \n10.0     31  \nMACMILLAN AND CO.,LIMITEDLONDON·BOMBAY·CALCUTTAMELBOURNE  \nTHE MACMILLAN COMPANYNEW YORK·BOSTON·CHICAGODALLAS·SAN FRANCISCO  \nTHE MACMILLAN Co.OF CANADA,LTD;TORONTO  \nThe Poetical Works  \nof  \nWilfrid Scawen Blunt  \n## A COMPLETE EDITION\n\nIN TWO VOLUMES  \nVOL.I  \nMACMILLAN AND Co.,LIMITEDST.MARTIN’s STREET,LONDON  \nPR4|49B81914v.l  \nul8 n3wso2 biilliW  \n## CTu          MC A\n\nCOPYRIGHT5037313-133  \n(911     D  人      MA  \n100ou  33Ta  \n÷  01  \ne  \n## PREFACE\n\nIx issuing,thirty years ago,the fourth edition of mySonnets of Proteus,I wrote:“No life is perfect that hasnot been lived—youth in feeling—manhood in battle—and old age in meditation.Again,no life is perfect thatis not sincere.”  \nTo-day,having reached the third stage of a long lifevery much of action,I yield to an impulse(I think a prudentone)of old age;that of arranging for the publication ofa final and complete edition of my verse while I still can,instead of leaving that care,should it be needed,to thechance kindness of others after my death.I am the moreimpelled to this because it seems that latterly my work,nearly all of it out of print,has begun to have a certainbric-à-brac value with readers,as that of a mid-Victorianpoet a little in advance of his epoch,and because the onlyedition of it at all procurable is a selection issued sixteenyears ago by my two friends,both,alas,now dead beforeme,W.E.Henley and George Wyndham,which,underthe heading The Poetry of Wifrid Blunt,gives what itgives of it much cut down and,if I may use the word inan unexaggerated sense,Bowdlerised.I mean especially,  \n## POETICAL WORKS\n\nthat all that section of it which was the outcome of myfeelings and beliefs on things political or religious,or whichon other grounds they held to be unpopular,was rigorouslycensored,so that what remained can no longer be regardedas a quite sincere expression of my thoughts.I am un-willing to allow my work to stand permanently at thatpoint,however friendly the intention was on the part ofthose who so edited it.Henley,in his introduction tothe selected volume,understood that this would be the casewith me.He foresaw that I should not acquiesce in thepermanent exclusion of much that they had suppressed forthis reason of unpopularity,and it is no more than thetruth to say that I hold it to be a point of honour to retain,as I do in the present edition,the whole original text atwhatever disadvantage.The Wind and the Whirlvind,The Canon of Aughrim,A New Pilgrimage,and SatanAbsolved(the last written to some extent in collaborationwith the late Herbert Spencer)are quite as much,and assincerely,a part of my past self as are the Sonnets ofProteus,Griselda,or An Idler’s Calendar;and to excludethem from a Complete Edition would be a recantation offeelings and opinions for which in honour I am not pre-pared.All,therefore,will be found here as first put inprint,with the excised stanzas of Esther restored to theirplace,and a great deal else which for other than artisticreasons was omitted from the Henley Volume.  \nAt the same time it has been thought well to add to ita number of hitherto unpublished pieces,amounting tosome three hundred pages,the work of comparativelyrecent years,and among them three rhymed plays,one ofwhich was acted at the Abbey Theatre,Dublin,in 1907,","cbCaijMbijE6sz0A","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijMbijE6sz0A","pdf",23177424,1,480,"English","en",105,"# Preface\n## Restoring original text\n## Additions: unpublished pieces and rhymed plays\n# Poetical Works","[{\"question\":\"Why does the author issue a complete edition of his verse?\",\"answer\":\"The author wants to arrange publication of his final complete edition while he still can, rather than leaving it to others after his death.\"},{\"question\":\"What problem does the preface identify in earlier available editions?\",\"answer\":\"Earlier selections are described as extensively cut and censored, especially sections based on political or religious feelings and beliefs.\"},{\"question\":\"What does this edition include that prior selections omitted?\",\"answer\":\"It restores excised stanzas (including Esther) and adds a number of previously unpublished pieces, including three rhymed plays.\"}]","POETICAL WORKS -
