To me, as someone who already had the Oxford editions of Taliessin through Logres and Region of the Summer Stars, the major Arthurian poems Williams published in his lifetime, the great merit of this book is that it includes his earlier Arhurian cycle The Advent of Galahad, including some poems published in his lifetime but in several different places, and some not pubilshed at all before this, as well as fragments of an intended continuation of the Arthurian poems written after the publication of the two canonical books. Critics generally consider the earlier poems inferior to the later ones,but the two cycles have interesting interrelationships which are explored in the introduction to the previously uncollected poems. My rating of 5 is more for its usefulness to the understanding of Williams' Arthurian poems as a whole than my judgment of the quality of the newly published poems.

Charles Williams' two cycles of poems, Taliessin through Logres and The Region of the Summer Stars, have been described as the major imaginative work about the Grail of the 20th century, praised for their spiritual reality and complex patterns of sound and haunting rhythms. In this new edition David Llewellyn Dodds collects together Williams' earlier poems on Arthurian themes, which both grew into and gave way to the final versions. This collection, which Charles Williams called The Advent of Galahad, was never published as such, though individual poems did appear in print. There are also later fragments, designed to form a sequel to The Region of the Summer Stars, which appear for the first time. Besides the publication of this new material, this edition aims to introduce new readers to William's lyrical pieces. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
