In any case both appeared too early to draw upon the great amount of scholarly work on Wordsworth and Coleridge completed since that date. The letters of Wordsworth and his sister, and those of Coleridge, have since appeared in the admirable editions prepared respectively by Professor de Selincourt and Professor E.L.Griggs; and Professor de Selincourt has also given us the Journals of Dorothy Wordsworth. E.K.Chambers and Mrs. Mary Moorman have provided excellent biographies of the two poets; Miss Kathleen Coburn has made available a wealth of hitherto unpublished material in Coleridge’s Notebooks; and there has been a stream of critical studies. A new edition not only profits from this scholarship but makes it possible to provide the student with an up-to-date bibliography of this work. The present edition owes much to the work of Miss Helen Darbishire and Professor E.de Selincourt, the editors of the Oxford English Texts edition of Wordsworth’s Poetical Works and to the work of E.H.Coleridge, the editor of the Oxford edition of Coleridge’s Poems. Their editions stand as monuments of scholarship which cannot be rivalled or superseded, but, nevertheless, they do not conveniently provide the student with 1 Cf. also Lyrical Ballads, with a few other poems, N.Douglas, London, 1926 (Facsimile of 1798 ed.). ix Lyrical Ballads as it first appeared to the public. The Oxford Wordsworth, rightly for its purpose, uses the grouping of the poems and the text chosen by Wordsworth himself for the 1850 edition. Similarly, the Oxford Coleridge uses the 1834 text. Only by a certain editorial labour can the reader achieve from these the text and grouping of the poems as they were originally published. The aim of the present volume is to make available to the reader the text of Lyrical Ballads as it appeared in print in 1798 and 1800, together with the variant readings of the 1802 and 1805 editions. We have incorporated in the text the Errata which were issued with the first two editions, but otherwise we have reproduced the poems exactly as they were first published. We have endeavoured in the text and by means of notes to provide a history of the poems from 1798 to 1805, after which Wordsworth’s poems were merged in the 1815 and subsequent editions of his collected works and Coleridge’s contributions were transferred to his Sybilline Leaves of 1817 and to later collections of his poetry. Lyrical Ballads was originally published in September, 1798.1 The title-page bore the Bristol imprint and the book was printed by Biggs and Cottle of Bristol for T.N.Longman of Paternoster Row, London. While the 1798 volume was in the press it occurred to the authors that one of the poems, Lewti; or, the Circassian Love- Chant, might disclose the secret of the authorship, for it had been published in The Morning Post for April 13th, 1798, and was known to be by Coleridge. The sheets containing this poem were, therefore, cancelled and The Nightingale substituted. A few copies of the volume with Lewti found their way on to the market, but most copies contain The Nightingale. We have given the text of The Nightingale where it appeared in the majority of copies and reprinted Lewti in Appendix A. Soon after publication Cottle sold the whole of the remaining copies of the first edition, which had numbered five hundred copies, to Messrs. J. and A.Arch of Gracechurch Street, London. This firm issued the book with a new title-page which bore a London imprint. 1 Cf. ‘The Publication of the “Lyrical Ballads”’, R.W.Daniels, Modern Language Review, vol. xxxiii, 1938, pp. 406–410, and ‘The Printing of Lyrical Ballads, 1798’, D.F.Foxon, The Library, 5th Series, vol. ix, 1954, pp. 221–241. x The second edition of the poems was published in two volumes which bore the date 1800, though they were not issued until January 1801. Only the first volume bore the words Second Edition on the title-page, for the second volume had entirely new contents and was regarded as a first edition. The poems in the first volume were the same as those of the 1798 edition which contained The Nightingale, except that The Convict was omitted, Coleridge’s poem Love was added, and Lines Written near Richmond was divided into two separate poems. The order of the poems was changed in this first volume, the titles of some poems altered, and substantial changes made in the text. We have given details of these changes in footnotes to the 1798 text. In addition to the poems, we have also reprinted the Advertisement with which Wordsworth prefaced the 1798 poems, and the Preface which took its place in the 1800 edition. The alterations and additions which Wordsworth made to this Preface in the 1802 edition of the poems are given in footnotes to the 1800 text. We have also reproduced in Appendix B the text of Wordsworth’s Appendix on Poetic Diction which first appeared in the 1802 edition. It is curious that despite the industry of scholars there is still no practical edition of Lyrical Ballads to which students may refer. In the attempt to fill this gap, we have thought it unnecessary to produce a variorum edition of the poems; the history of individual poems is well enough documented in the collected works of Wordsworth and Coleridge. Our main concern has been to make the poems readily available as a unique body of poetry— in all its freshness and naïvety— relying on the original texts of 1798 and 1800 to make their own impact. For this reason we have indicated only what we consider to be the significant variants between the texts and tried to keep the text as clear and unencumbered as possible. We have, for the most part, ignored the various trivia such as changes in capitalisation and punctuation as being likely to obscure the text so far as the average reader is concerned. In noting variants we have recorded only the text in which the change first appeared so that the reader may assume that if no subsequent emendation is recorded the variant stands in the subsequent texts also. We are convinced that it is as a body of poetry that Lyrical Ballads first influenced the course of English poetry and that it is as a body of poetry that it should be studied.

    A History of Romantic Literature BLACKWELL HISTORIES OF LITERATURE General editor: Peter Brown, University of Kent, Canterbury The books in this series renew and redefine a familiar form by recognizing that to write literary history involves more than placing texts in chronological sequence. Thus the emphasis within each volume falls both on plotting the significant literary developments of a given period, and on the wider cultural contexts within which they occurred. ‘Cultural history’ is construed in broad terms and authors address such issues as politics, society, the arts, ideologies, varieties of literary production and consumption, and dominant genres and modes. The effect of each volume is to give the reader a sense of possessing a crucial sector of literary terrain, of understanding the forces that give a period its distinctive cast, and of seeing how writing of a given period impacts on, and is shaped by, its cultural circumstances.

Margery Palmer McCulloch "A very curious emptiness": Walter Scott and the Twentieth-Century Scottish Renaissance Movement Edwin Muir's characterization in Scott and Scotland (1936) of "a very cu­ rious emptiness .... behind the wealth of his [Scott's] imagination'" and his re­ lated discussion of what he perceived as the post-Reformation and post-Union split between thought and feeling in Scottish writing have become fixed points in Scottish criticism despite attempts to dislodge them by those convinced of Muir's wrong-headedness.2 In this essay I want to take up more generally the question of twentieth-century interwar views of Walter Scott through a repre­ sentative selection of writers of the period, including Muir, and to suggest pos­ sible reasons for what was often a negative and almost always a perplexed re­ sponse to one of the giants of past Scottish literature.

Although Coleridge returned to the Anglican Church of England in 1814, during the writing of the Lyrical Ballads in 1797 and 1798 he was working as a Unitarian preacher and had given evidence at the 1793 Cambridge trial of William Frend, who stood accused of heresies and breaking university and national law. Coleridge’s exploration of religious views is an important aspect of his poetry that has often been overlooked in scholarship of his early work. Whilst the poetry Coleridge wrote in his latter years has been extensively analysed, primarily by Christian theologians and academics attempting to show that Coleridge’s thoughts were ultimately orthodox, critic Owen Barfield notes in the introduction to What Coleridge Thought that more attention has been “paid to Coleridge as a thinker than to Coleridge as a poet and a critic” (3).

    Sparrow Discography by Mike Callahan, David Edwards & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Sparrow Records Discography Sparrow is a Contemporary Christian label founded in 1976 by Billy Ray Hearn. Hearn was the A&R Director for Word Records’ Myrrh label, founded a few years earlier also as a Contemporary Christian label. Sparrow also released records under their Birdwing subsidiary. Hearn’s Sparrow label was in competition with Hearn’s old boss, Word Records, and was quite successful. Even today, Sparrow is among the top Christian labels. Hearn sold the label to EMI in 1992, and it was placed under the Capitol Christian Music Group. Sparrow signed a distribution agreement with MCA in April, 1981 to release their product in the secular market while the regular Sparrow issues were distributed to Christian stores and Christian radio stations. The arrangement with MCA lasted until October, 1986, when Sparrow switched distribution to Capitol.

An outstanding scholarly edition of a profoundly influential but much neglected theological voice.’ —Emma Mason, Professor, Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies, University of Warwick, UK ‘This magnificent edition sheds new light on the controversies surrounding the Oxford Movement. Sara Coleridge’s literary gifts as well as philosophical erudition appear in her probing critique of the Tractarians and defence of her father, S. T. Coleridge. Her hitherto unpublished Dialogues on Regeneration, finely annotated in this book, is a major addition to the Victorian canon.’ —James Vigus, Senior Lecturer in English, Queen Mary University of London, UK ‘This excellent volume continues the retrieval of an important Victorian voice.

Jones Loyola University Chicago 1 An ancient literary practice often aligned with satire, parody "comes of age as a major comic expression during the Romantic period," as Marilyn Gaull has observed, the same era that celebrated and became known for the literary virtues of sincerity, authenticity, and originality. [1] Significant recent anthologies of Romantic-period parodies make the sheer bulk and topical range of such imitative works available for readers and critics for the first time, providing ample evidence for the prominence of the form. [2] The weight of evidence in these collections should also put to rest the widespread assumption that parody is inevitably "comic" or gentler than satire, that it is essentially in good fun.
