1913. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766172988, 0766172996. Volume 3 of 3. Prose. Francis Thompson was an English poet and in 1889, while working in a bootmaker's shop, wrote his first poems, which were published in "Merry England" by Wilfrid Meynell. Mr. Thompson's literary executor made this collection while being governed by Mr. Thompson's express instructions or guided by a knowledge of his feelings and preferences acquired during an unbroken intimacy of nineteen years. Thompson's own list of new inclusions and his own suggested reconsiderations of his formerly published text have been followed in this definitive edition of his poetical works.

Terrible Formatting,
By Andy Madajski (Standish, MI USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Works of Francis Thompson (Kindle Edition)
I'm sure Thompson's poems are very good, but the formatting of this Kindle edition makes them very difficult to read. It's not so bad if the lines are very short; otherwise, symbols appear in place of letters and words are split without any regard to syllables.
