Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) was one of the major Romantic poets, and wrote what is critically recognised as some of the finest lyric poetry in the English language. This is the third volume of the 4-volume "Poems of Shelley," which will present all of Shelley's poems in chronological order and with full annotation. Date and circumstances of composition are provided for each poem and all manuscript and printed sources relevant to establishing an authentic and accurate text are freshly examined and assessed. Headnotes and footnotes furnish the personal, literary, historical and scientific information necessary to an informed reading of Shelley's varied and allusive verse. The present volume comprises poems composed between autumn 1819 and autumn 1820. The poems written in response to the political crisis in England following the 'Peterloo' massacre in August 1819 feature largely in this volume, among them "The Mask of Anarchy "and "An Ode (Arise, arise, arise!)." The popular songs, which he intended to gather into a volume to inspire reformers from the labouring classes, several accompanied by significantly new textual material recovered from draft manuscripts, areincluded, as are the important political works "Ode to Liberty," "Ode to Naples" and "Oedipus Tyrannus," Shelley's burlesque Greek Tragedy on the Queen Caroline affair. The comic ballad "Peter Bell the Third" takes Wordsworth as a type of the betrayal of the poet's calling by party politics. Other major poems featured include "The Sensitive-Plant," "Ode to the West Wind," "Letter to Maria Gisborne," an exuberant translation from the ancient Greek of the Homeric "Hymn to Mercury," and the brilliantly inventive "The Witch of Atlas." In addition to accompanying commentaries, there are extensive bibliographies, a chronology of Shelley's life, and indexes to titles and first lines. Leigh Hunt's informative Preface of 1832 to "The Mask of Anarchy" is also included as an Appendix, making this the most comprehensive edition of Shelley's work available to students and scholars.""

The Poems of John Donne is one volume paperback edition of the poems of John Donne (1572-1631) based on a comprehensive re-evaluation of his work from composition to circulation and reception. Donne's output is tremendously varied in style and form and demonstrates his ability to exercise his rhetorical capabilities according to context and occasion. This edition aims to present the text of all his known poems, from the epigrams, songs and satires written for fellow young men about town, to the more mature verse-epistles and memorial elegies written for his patrons. The Longman Annotated English Poets series traditionally aims to present poems in chronological order; in this edition, however, the principle has been observed only within generic sections. This organisation reproduces the manner in which Donne's original readers first encountered the poems in the various manuscripts of his elegies and satires that circulated in Donne's lifetime. The lyrics have been arranged alphabetically for ease of reference and because, in all but a few cases, precise date of composition is impossible to determine. Each poem has extensive editorial commentary designed to put the twenty-first century reader in possession of all that is necessary fully to appreciate Donne's work. A substantial headnote sets each poem in its historical and literary context, while the annotations give detailed guidance on the wealth of classical and religious allusions and give full representation to the literary, historical and philosophical culture out of which the poems grew. In keeping with the traditions of the series, Donne's own text has been modernised in punctuation and spelling except where to do so would alter or disrupt a rhyme. Collected in this volume: the Epigrams, Verse Letters to Friends, Love Lyrics, Love Elegies and Satires; the Religion Poems, Wedding Celebrations, Verse Epistles to Patronesses, Commemorations, and the Anniversaries.
