American Poetry: The Twentieth Century, volume one: Henry Adams to Dorothy Parker

The choice of text for each of the poems selected for inclusion in this volume has been made on the basis of a study of its textual history and a comparison of editions printed during the author's lifetime. In general, each text is from the earliest book edition prepared with the author's participation; revised editions are sometimes followed, in light of the degree of authorial supervision and the stage of the writer's career at which the revisions were made, but the preference has been for the authorially approved book version closest to the date of composition. Texts from periodicals, anthologies, and posthumous sources have been used only when a poem was not printed in one of the author's books during his or her lifetime, or when such a book version is not authoritative. For song lyrics, collected editions (when available) have been preferred over sheet-music texts or new transcriptions.

The following is a list of the sources of all of the texts included in this volume, listed alphabetically by the authors of the poems.
