In her third bibliography of Sarton's work, Blouin, an independent research librarian and bibliographer, delineates Sarton's writings in their various genres along with their critical response. The primary sources section arranges all works chronologically by genre, with the exception of poems not in volumes of poetry, poetry and prose in anthologies, and translations--all arranged alphabetically. The expanded secondary sources section now includes reviews of works (also by genre) and separates articles with substantial critical content from book reviews and biographical or more general pieces. Also included are reviews of major critical studies published in the last 20 years, a section for special editions, and an appendix which lists individual poems alphabetically by title, followed by location.

"Each of the translations in this book can be read for its own sake or as part of a triptych. By setting excerpts of Brian Merriman's Cuirt an Mhean Oiche within the acoustic of a classical myth (the story of Orpheus and Eurydice), Seamus Heaney provides a new and illuminating context for the eighteenth century Irish poem. For this paperback reissue, the poet has made some revisions in the text of the original Gallery Press edition."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
