The Bridge: Uncollected, Paperback

Contributor(s):

• Author: Hart Crane
• Editor: Ben Mazer

This edition of Hart Crane's long poem The Bridge, first published as a book in 1930, collects, for the first time ever, the variant, earlier versions of the poem's sections as they were first published in periodicals and anthologies during the years 1927-1930. The many differences between these earlier versions and the versions which appeared in the Horace Liveright edition of 1930 make this book an indispensable volume for anyone with a deep interest in Hart Crane, or indeed in American poetry, and a tremendous tool for the understanding of Crane and his poetry.
