Summary: Sloppy editing
Review: Do not buy this book. I adopted it as a text book for a course I am teaching but have found typos in just about every poem I have read in it. Some you can figure out:"How sweet--while warn airs lull us, blowling lowly" "Warn" is supposed to be "warm." But others are really confusing: "Thro' many a women acanthus-wreath divine!" "Women" is supposed to be "woven." I checked these in the first edition of the Norton Critical--the first edition has the correct lines. I guess Norton just scanned the first edition and put it on the shelves as a second "edition" without even editing it. Very sloppy work--please don't buy the book. The texts are well selected--it is nice to have The Princess available. And the critical readings are also well chosen. But the texts are hardly readible.
