Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Scraps of Verse and Prose by Dante Gabriel Rossetti In 1886 I edited and brought out The Collected Works of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, both verse and prose, original and translated. Into those two volumes I put the works which my brother had published during his lifetime, and also a moderate number of other writings which he had not published, but which I esteemed suitable for appearing in such a form. Some other things of his, remaining in my possession, were advisedly excluded. As much diversity of opinion exists on questions of this kind, it may be as well to explain my position in the matter. My own personal opinion is as follows: If a writer has attained a certain standard of merit and reputation - and I hold that my brother had attained that standard - all that he wrote, good, bad, and indifferent, should sooner or later be published; omitting only such productions as from their subject or treatment (apart from the direct question of literary merits or demerits) may be unsuited for the public eye. The good things should be published because they are good; the bad or indifferent because they are interesting or curious as coming from an eminent man. They are documents subserving the man´s biography, and may from that point of view be as important to reflect upon as even his best performances. A sensible editor would of course give some adequate intimation as to what he considers indifferent or bad, so as to safeguard from misconstruction both his author and himself.
