Lycidas: Edited to Serve as an Introduction to Criticism"The endpapers reproduced here are from the manuscript of "Lycidas," presumed to be the original, that is preserved in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge. They are certainly in Milton's hand, and only a few of the corrections were made after the poem was published in 1638 and before it appeared in Milton's Poems (1645). The entire Trinity Manuscript, consisting of fifty pages and containing many of Milton's poems as well as lists of subjects for poems and plans for Paradise Lost, can be seen in the collotype reproduction edited by W. Aldis Wright (Cambridge, 1899) and in the reproduction of it published for the Facsimile Text Society by Columbia University Press (New York, 1933). -- Book jacket. |
