Summary:

"The Norton Critical Edition of E. E. Cummings: Selected Works contains 164 of his poems (prefaced by a consideration of the development of his idiosyncratic style), excerpts from his dramatic, nonfiction, and personal writings, and several examples of his visual art in order to offer readers a comprehensive look at his many contributions to American literary modernism. The texts all come from the authoritative Liveright editions, and this volume is the first to present them with annotations. "Criticism" provides a scholarly survey of the work of E. E. Cummings, including contemporary reviews, several interpretive essays, and comparative studies of two poems that encourage close reading. The essays illuminate key aspects of E. E. Cummings' poetry and (re)evaluate him as a writer whose work spanned many fruitful decades but who is now best remembered for his inventive typographic style. A chronology and selected bibliography are also included"-- Provided by publisher.
