This is the first newly prepared, complete edition of Henry
Vaughan's poetry and prose for over a century. In the introduction,
the reader will find an up-to-date biography of Vaughan, a
substantial history of developments in Vaughan scholarship and
criticism from the seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries, and
full bibliographical descriptions of each of the volumes published
in the author's lifetime. The texts carefully reproduce original
spelling and punctuation, with textual variants and significant
editorial emendations made in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries noted at the foot of the page for easy reference.
Vaughan's volumes are printed in the order of their first
publication and each is introduced by a brief essay on the date and
circumstances of its publication, its historical and literary
contexts, and the nature of its contents. Vaughan's surviving
letters are also included, and appendices print additional poems
found in other volumes, poems of dubious ascription, and marginalia
made in medical books owned by Vaughan. The third volume contains
the commentary on prose works and poems. The notes on the poetry
take into consideration material derived from scholarly and
critical work published over the past forty years, and the edition
locates Vaughan's translations and original prose texts firmly, and
for the first time, in the complex religious, political, and
intellectual contexts of the mid-seventeenth century. The third
volume also contains a substantial bibliography and an index.
