Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) is not only the greatest poet that
California (and indeed the American West) has produced but a major
poet of the twentieth century who occupies a prominent place in the
tradition of American prophetic poetry. Jeffers consciously set
himself apart from the poetry of his generation—by physical
isolation at his home in Carmel, by his unusual poetic form, and by
his stance as an “anti-modernist.” Yet his work represents a
profound, and profoundly original, artistic response to problems
that shaped modernist poetry and that still perplex poets today.
Now, for the first time, all of Jeffers’s completed poems, both
published and unpublished, are presented in a single,
comprehensive, and textually authoritative edition of five volumes.
The present volume is in four parts. An Introduction deals with the
scope and principles of selection for the edition, including the
decision to present the poems in chronological order, and gives a
brief review of the textual evidence and commentary that form the
bulk of this volume. The essay “Chronology” offers an overview
of Jeffers’s career, the evidence for dating the poems, and the
arguments drawn from that evidence. The two parts that follow
describe the rationale and evidence for establishing the texts of
the poems for this edition, and present, in the form of extensive
commentary and tabulations for each poem, the material (notes,
preliminary workings, revisions, discarded passages, and variations
in published versions) that both complicate and enrich the study of
Jeffers’s poetry and prose. These commentaries also incorporate a
number of additional selections from Jeffers’s previously
unpublished writings. There are three appendixes: tables of
contents for original editions as well as some planned editions
that were never published; poems (not included in this edition)
that have appeared in posthumous compilations; and errata for the
first four volumes. The book concludes with two indexes, of titles
and of first lines.
