The Collected Works of James Clarence Mangan Poems V2

The only book of Mangan's poetry published in his lifetime was the two-volume edition of his anthologia cermanica (1845) with his own preface. The bulk of these poems had first appeared in the Dublin University Magazine. The rest of his verse, some of it consisting of rebuses and conundrums, is scattered over various publications like The Dublin Penny Journal, The Comet, The Dublin Satirist, The Nation, and The Belfast Vindicator. Many of these poems have been hard to find and identify, often being published under pseudonyms and some-times anonymously. The editors have established an authoritative body of almost 1000 separate pieces, presented in chronological sequence with critical annotation, in four volumes.
