Ha'ttatal is a treatise in Old Icelandic on the metres and verse-forms of Old Norse poetry. It forms the third part of the Edda of the Icelandic historian and poet Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241). This poem consists of 102 stanzas in various verse-forms in praise of the rulers of Norway after Sturluson had visited the Norwegian court in about 1222-3. This is the earliest medieval treatise on the metres of poetry in a Germanic language, and is of immense importance for our understanding of the metres not only of Norse poetry but also of those of Anglo-Saxon and Medieval German, and it also provides great insight into the ways in which a medieval vernacular poet perceived his work. This edition is in normalized spelling and has an introduction, notes, and glossary.

J. M. Synge was one of the key dramatists in the flourishing world of Irish literature at the turn of the century. This volume offers all of Synge's published plays, which range from racy comedy to stark tragedy, all sharing a memorable lyricism.

B. Yeats and Lady Gregory.

George Eliot's first work of fiction, Scenes of Clerical Life, appeared serially in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine in 1857. It was immediately recognized as, in the words of the Saturday Review, "the production of a peculiar and remarkable writer whose style showed little or no family resemblances with that of any living author." Using the first edition of 1858 as copy text, this edition records all substantive variants in the manuscript and subsequent editions of the book over which the author had control. The editor's introduction gives a detailed history of the writing and publication of the work, as well as a description of the manuscript and lists of emandations and variant spellings.

The Complete Notebooks of Henry James opens a wide, clear window into the private workshop of America's master novelist, the architect of modernism in fiction. Assembled and edited by Leon Edel, James's much-acclaimed, prize-winning biographer, and Lyall H. Powers, critic and editor of James's letters to Edith Wharton, this book includes the nine scribbler-notebooks first published in 1947, plus a wealth of new material, including a series of James's pocket diaries, scenarios for unfinished plays, his deathbed dictation, statements for his unfinished novels The Ivory Tower and A Sense of the Past, and much more. It is a volume that deserves to be called definitive. "The notebooks...exist so that [James] might there 'present, ' though only to himself, the very things he promises to 'prevent' in his published writing. That is why anyone who likes to eavesdrop on the workings of a master must be grateful to those, like Mr. Edel and Mr. Powers, who, despite him, give us the opportunity."--The New York Times Book Review "Here one is clearly in the presence of a genius; but a genius that is wholly open, unguarded. A quite illuminating and strangely moving experience."--Joyce Carol Oates

In this second volume the major additions are the important new fragments of Simonides' elegies, some from a long narrative poem on the Battle of Plataea, others from personal poems of high literary interest and quality. There are also new fragments of the comic poem Margites attributed to Homer, and of Tyrtaeus. A supplementary word index has been added to take account of the changes and additions in the two volumes since the first edition.
