A scholarly edition of poems by George Crabbe. The edition presents an authoritative text, together with an introduction, commentary notes, and scholarly apparatus.

This is the first collected edition of the verse for some eighty years. The editors use much recently discovered manuscript material, and there is extensive commentary.

'Crabbe's own words, now more fully and accurately available than ever before in this excellent new edition, deserve more attention than, through the injustices of fashion, they have received' Peter New, University of Exeter, British Journal for Eighteenth Century Studies
