Basil Bunting's work was published haphazardly throughout most of his life, and in many cases he did not oversee publication. This title annotates Bunting's often complex and allusive verse, with quotation from his prose writings, interviews and correspondence.

  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Basil Bunting's work was published haphazardly throughout most of his life, and in many cases he did not oversee publication. This is the first critical edition of the complete poems, and offers an accurate text with variants from all printed sources. Don Share annotates Bunting's often complex and allusive verse, with much illuminating quotation from his prose writings, interviews and correspondence. He also examines Bunting's use of sources (including Persian literature and classical mythology), and explores the Northumbrian roots of Bunting's poetic vocabulary and use of dialect.
