The Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley
Volumes
I and II
Edited by Frederick L. Jones.
These volumes, desirable
if
for
no other reason than the scarcity of Ingpen's editions of 1909 and 1926,
contain many letters which have never appeared in a collected edition.
Professor Jones, working directly from most of the original manuscripts,
has been able to correct almost all the texts mangled by Hogg, and to
revise dating. All the letters of Harriet Shelley and Elizabeth Hitchener
are included. 1,123 pages.

Henry King and the Seventeenth Century
By Ronald S. Berman.
Best known as the friend, discipline, and
finally the executor of John Donne, Henry King was himself a true
representative of his paradoxical century. Professor Berman discusses his
fluid, democratic style, his conservative ideas, his relation to many
seventeenth-century literary problems, as well as his life and reputation.
King's poetry, in particular "The Exequy," receives detailed critical
attention.
