Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thomson´s Seasons: Critical Edition, Being a Reproduction of the Original Texts, With All the Various Readings of the Later Editions Historically Arranged The present edition of Thomson´s "Seasons" is the first to reproduce the original texts of the Seasons together with all the various readings of the later editions. Efforts to accomplish such a work had been made long ago, e.g. by Wordsworth, Dyce, Bell, Peter Cunningham, and others, but as the enormous mass of alterations grafted upon the first texts by the author in later years checked any attempt of appending all the variants to a single text, the task was invariably abandoned. Indeed, if the somewhat unusual difficulties were to be surmounted, an apparatus not commonly employed in ordinary editions was required. In order to enable the student to obtain a clear idea of the development of the texts and of the innovations peculiar to each revision, it has been thought advisable to reprint the first texts in full and to add the alterations of the various later publications under separate historically arranged headings (B, C, D etc.), instead of throwing the whole matter into one continuous footnote and leaving to the reader the trouble of putting together for himself the variations belonging to the respective texts. According to the scheme adopted in the present edition - authorised, it might be claimed, by Thomson´s own way of emendating his "Seasons," viz. of always executing his corrections on the last text without ever referring to an earlier one - the various readings occurring in the later editions are quoted only once, in reference to text where they first appear.
