Zusammenfassung:	The first Selected Poems of John Davidson for thirty years, this new selection brings together the best of his work both from the 1890s and his later materialist phase. Davidson has lately been reassessed, and he is now generally recognized to ba a poet of major status, a precursor of the modernist movement, and the best Scottish poet between Robert Burns and Hugh MacDiarmid. This edition demonstrates the quality and breadth of Davidson's work, and also contains selections from his unpublished letters and prose writings which shed new light on his life and aims as a poet. The editor, who is also John Davidson's biographer, provides a full and fascinating introduction, notes to the poems, and a chronology of Davidson's life, all of which help contextualize the poet and his work.
