Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore Including His Melodies, Ballads, Etc: Complete in One Volume This edition of Thomas Moore´s poetical works is taken principally from the text of the edition collected by himself, and published in London in 1840-1841, in ten volumes octavo. It contains the whole of Moore´s poetical works ever published, with the single exception of "The Fudges in America," which I have omitted, and is the most complete edition yet collected. I have arranged the poems in the order which seemed to me the most natural, and the simplest for reference. In other editions the Juvenilia, Satires, and Occasional Verses are scattered about the volumes, sometimes in the order of original publication and sometimes without any apparent plan. I have thought it better to collect all the Political and Satirical Poems under one head, and all the rest of the trivial or occasional verses, odes, and epistles under another, keeping separate only the "Juvenile Poems" and the "Poems Relating to America." After some hesitation I have retained Moore´s own notes to "Lalla Rookh," and to the greater number of his other poems, striking out such only as the lapse of time had rendered unnecessary or inapposite. In the case of the "Odes of Anacreon," however, I have taken the liberty of deleting the notes altogether. Those translations were Moore´s earliest publication, and the notes are conceived in such an effusive spirit of youthful scholarship that I have thought it well to omit them. They are not necessary or useful to the understanding of the text, and were probably never intended for any other purpose than to display the extent of Moore´s knowledge of Greek. As they do not do this, except in a sense inverse to what the poet intended, their use would seem to be wanting altogether. In other places also I have omitted some of Moore´s classical and post classical references and quotations, but, wherever retained, they are printed as Moore wrote them. In very few cases I have added a note myself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
