Item description from seller

lxi,413 p.; 4 pl.(1786 port.,3 facs.); 23.5 cm. 335 selections, register of principal sources, index first lines, general index. `The basic aim of this volume is to provide in compact form the means for an adequate appreciation of Charles Wesley as a poet. This is attempted by the provision in three separate sections of (a) a carefully documented corpus of his hymns [1-112], (b) characteristic specimens of his devotional verse [113-230], and (c) a selection of miscellaneous poems [231-335], whim sical, satirical, political, ecclesiastical, controversial, topical, and personal, which at the same time present a summary of Charles Wesley's life and of his reactions to men and movements of the day. In the interests of making this selection as representative as possible, I have carefully read through, not only the 4,600 poems which he himself published, and the 3,000 which were published posthumously,but over 1,300 so far unpublished,a total of over 180,000 lines of verse. In every case the text is that of the first published edition, where one exists, together with careful collations with all other major editions, and with all known manuscripts--quite frequently there are two or three manuscripts of his poems, and occasionally four. Because Charles Wesley's most valuable contribution toEnglish literature is undboutedly his hymns,a critical history of all those hymns selected (which include the most well known) is given by collating them withthe 6 `general' hymn-books prepared bythe Wesleys,with their successors inthe main Wesleyan stream down to the Methodist Hymn-book of 1933. incorporating examples of all the hundred stanzaic patterns which he employed. not only some of Charles Wesley's best verse, but some of his worst.'
