Selected Poems. de Ransom, John Crowe, 1888-1974 - 1969: Third Edition, Revised and Enlarged.

"Third edition newly revised, enlarged, reset, and printed from new plates, July 1969." "This third edition of Selected Poems represents the poet's careful refining of the second edition. It also contains about twenty poems from Mr. Ransom's earlier volumes... which he has revised and added to this collection. / The final section is made up of eight 'pairings'-- original texts of poems side by side with later revisions. In each instance Mr. Ransom provides an informal commentary, pinpointing his dissatisfaction with the old version and analyzing the creative impulse (and technical means) that shaped the new-- an unusual revelation of the poet at work." viii, 159 pages; 23.5 cm.
