This volume was first published in 1957 and was intended as an
appreciation of poetry, based on the study of authors' corrected
manuscripts, revised published versions, transpositions of prose
into verse, and contrasted translations. A. F. Scott divides his
study into five sections: the first section has photographs of
manuscript poems by twenty-four poets. The second section presents
for comparison the first published version of eight well-known
poems, with the revisions published later. A brief history of the
changes is given, so that the making of some of the poems can be
followed over the years. The third section gives six poems, with
the source used by the poet for his poem. The fourth section gives
34 poetical versions of twelve originals. The fifth and final
section contains 120 poems, paired for contrast and comparison,
unsigned, and with a specific critical subject suggested for each
pair.
