Description
The Oval Window by J. H. Prynne is an annotated edition of the poet's 1983 work, featuring photographs taken at the time and place of composition, alongside a substantial portfolio of source material. This collection includes extracts from literature, Eastern and Western philosophy, optics, anatomy, computer programming language, and ancient Chinese poetry, published during the period in early autumn 1983 when the poem was written. The edition also features two commentary essays: one on approaches to reading and the relations between different elements in the work, and another on the topography and critical antecedents of the poem. A clean reading text is included alongside the annotated text for ease of reading. This new edition makes use of Prynne's own source material, providing a unique insight into his creative process.
