Part of the uniform edition of Lewis's work, this volume contains the complete texts of his two collections 'Raiders' Dawn' and 'Ha! Ha! Among the Trumpets'. It also includes 27 previously uncollected poems.

Lewis emerged as a story writer of maturity during WWII. His first collection, The Last Inspection, was published in 1942; his later stories were collected posthumously in The Green Tree in 1948. Often anthologized, these have been unavailable for over forty years, though his poems have been reprinted. This contains all of the stories from these two books, as well as all those published in magazines since 1929. Seven unpublished stories are also included from more than forty left in manuscript form. His work bears comparison with that of Katherine Mansfield and Dylan Thomas.

Dannie Abse, whose career as a poet spans sixty years, has made a huge contribution to the literature and literary life of Wales and to poetry and prose in the English Language. The Sourcebook is an essential companion to the poetry, prose, drama and critical writings of this major poet. Cary Archard has edited and written about Abse's work for over twenty years and collects here a marvellous representative selection of Abse's own writings, together with criticism of his work, which illuminates Abse's achievements for both students and general readers. * Biographical and critical introduction * Selection of Abse's criticism, autobiography and fiction * Interviews * Reviews of Abse's poetry over sixty years * Critical essays of Abse's poetry, some newly commissioned * Bibliography
