Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems The two poems here annotated passed through many early editions. "The Traveller" was three times published within a twelvemonth after its first appearance in December, 1764; it was issued for the fifth time in 1768, for the sixth in 1770, and in 1774, the year of Goldsmith´s death, the ninth edition was given to the world. This last - the text of Mitford and Dobson - I have made the groundwork of the present edition, collating it with the best modern texts, solely with a view to accuracy in punctuation and forms of spelling, as about the words of the poem there is now no question. In my notes I have given many readings of the earliest versions (the first, third, and fourth have been accessible to me in the Harvard Library), believing that the revisions of the poet furnish a suggestive study in literary craftsmanship. Of the five editions of "The Deserted Village" appearing between May 26 and August 16, 1770, I have chosen the fourth - also the Mitford and Dobson text. In this case, I have taken earlier readings second-hand through recent editors, as I have before me none of the oldest texts; but the changes that the lines of "The Deserted Village" underwent at Goldsmith´s hands are not nearly so numerous and noteworthy as those in "The Traveller."
