Excerpt from The Achievement of Robert Lowell: 1939-1959
Then last spring, Hugh B. Staples published a checklist and article on Lowell in the Harvard University Bulletin, XIII 292-318. The checklist, wonderfully adequate in var iant readings and anthology inclusions, proved less adequate in its recordings of actual editions, dates of individual appear anecs of poems, and material on Lowell. This prompted me first to revise and amend Staples’s work, but the complications this produced, plus all the new material since Spring, 1959, led me to drop this project. Even Staples suggested this in favor of a new bibliography.
However, this bibliography, as complete as it is, can make no claims to being entirely definitive. Responsibility for gaps and errors that exist in it are mine, and it goes without saying that I should welcome corrections and additional material from anyone.
