När Edith Södergran debuterade hösten 1916 var mottagandet blandat. Dikterna representerade något helt nytt och gav upphov till divergerande tolkningar. Sedan dess har Södergrans produktion fortsatt att inspirera och utmana till nya läsningar. Första delen av Samlade skrifter, Dikter och aforismer, utkom 1990 och den andra, Brev, 1996. Denna tredje del presenterar den nu sekellånga receptionen i kritik och forskning och synliggör hur tolkningstraditioner bryts mot varandra och frilägger olika betydelseskikt i dikterna. Genom översikterna framträder utvecklingslinjerna i Södergrans författarskap. Här presenteras receptionen av diktsamlingarna och här ingår också fullständiga textkritiska kommentarer, som bl.a. visar hur Södergran ändrade i manuskripten. Avsnittet Varia omfattar Södergrans översättningar, insändare, några manuskript, och korrespondens som blivit tillgänglig efter 1996.

Edwin Arlington Robinson’s Letters to Edith Brower

Edwin Arlington Robinson’s Letters to Edith Brower

This volume contains 189 hitherto unpublished letters by Edwin Arlington Robinson. They were written between 1897 and 1930 to one of his first admirers, Edith Brower of Pennsylvania.The letters begin when the twenty-seven-year-old poet writes gratefully to the stranger who has expressed appreciation of his first, privately printed, book of poems, The Torrent and the Night Before. Soon he was carrying on an intense correspondence, baring his soul—safely, he believed, because the woman he described as “infernally bright and not at all ugly,” with “something of a literary reputation,” was “too old to give me a chance to bother myself with any sentimental uneasiness.” (She was twenty-one years his senior.)Continually reflecting his laconic, self-deprecating Yankee spirit, the letters range from the uncontrollable outpourings of a lonely individual, desperate for encouragement and understanding, to brief words of greeting or farewell. Without reserve, Robinson—who was eventually awarded the Pulitzer prize for poetry three times—confides his reactions to people and places, his thoughts about his own work, and his personal opinions of such writers as Browning, Dickens, Hardy, Moody, and Pater.Mr. Cary has included Miss Brower’s unpublished memoir on the poet’s character and literary career, “Memories of Edwin Arlington Robinson,” and her penetrating review of The Children of the Night. In addition to an informative Introduction, he contributes full explanatory notes, a list of Robinson’s works, and an index.
