| dc.description.abstract | This study is a collation of all accidental and substantive variants in a selection of poems from the work of Robert Graves. A representative selection has been made from poems published between 1914 and 1948, covering three of the four periods in his literary development. The three periods are from 1916 to 1923, 1923 to 1927, and 1927 to 1938. The collations are continued to include poems from the volume Collected Poems (1914-1947), published in 1948. This cut-off date (1948) has been chosen because in the following year, 1949, Graves' The White Goddess appeared. The White Goddess marks a significant change in the poet's work and provides a convenient terminal point for this study. In each instance, the basic text used for a poem was that of the first book publication. Collations were made from this. No magazine, periodical, or anthology versions have been considered or collated because it is not the standard procedure with such publications to offer the author galleys for proofing. For this reason, such versions are not deemed to have the author's authority. The methodology used has been a modified version of that employed by Peter Allt and Russell K. Alspach in their work The Variorum Edition of the Poems of W B Yeats (New York Macmillan, 1957). | en_US |
