Subject: Re: McCabe / Oram
Carol Kaske gives good reasons for preferring McCabe's Penguin edition. I haven't used either across the whole extent of the shorter poems, but it's my impression that McCabe's apparatus of introductions and notes is somewhat superior. Working recently on the Fowre Hymnes , however, and consulting both editions, in the Yale edition I found things of value in Einar Bjorvand's notes that supplemented McCabe's. (And in Hugh Maclean's original Norton Critical Ed. of 1968, there is matter in the notes that hasn't been retained in either of the later editions.)
Cheers, Jon Quitslund
