| Summary | "Select Poems of Thomas Gray" by Thomas Gray is a collection of poetry that likely emerged in the late 19th century. This edition, edited with notes by William J. Rolfe, emphasizes Gray's prominent works, including his celebrated "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard." The collection discusses themes of mortality, the beauty of nature, and human experience, revealing the depth and sensitivity of Gray's literary contributions. The opening portion of the collection serves primarily as a preface, wherein the editor addresses discrepancies and inaccuracies found in previous editions of Gray's poetry. Rolfe highlights the importance of retaining the correct text as supervised by the poet himself in earlier prints, particularly pointing out errors made by past editors. He discusses the significance of Gray's life and how it influenced his writing, setting the stage for both a biography and the analysis of his poems that follow in the collection. Through this introduction, the editor aims to enrich the reader's understanding of Gray and enhance the appreciation of his work by providing context and critical insights.
