Below each poem, the edition provides a section of textual commentary, stating the date of the poem's origin as it can best be ascertained; a record of extant manuscripts, typescripts, and other archival sources containing the poem; a record of its publications in periodicals, collections and elsewhere; an explanation of any corrections to the text; and a record of the poem's textual variants, including both wording and punctuation. Also supplied are English translations of all the French poems that Beckett did not translate himself. The introduction to the edition provides a broad overview of the archival materials pertaining to Beckett's poetry and a history of its composition and publication; addresses a range of textual and dating problems concerning poems and their archival and published versions; and states the principles underlying the choice of their most authoritative texts and their arrangement in the volume. / 2031-01-01
