Summary
"Becoming Marianne Moore offers readers a full facsimile reprint of the first edition of Observations (New York: Dial Press, 1924), the book that garnered Moore the Dial Award for Literature and solidified her reputation as a modernist poet of note. The reprint is followed by a collection of facsimiles that presents each of Moore's poems published between 1907 and 1924 as it first appeared in a modernist little magazine. The notes to poems whose published versions vary include a variorum table that gives scholars quick access to all of the published changes that Moore made to a poem, and a series of brief bibliographical notes supply information about the immediate publication contexts of all presentations of the poem. These notes, in turn, point readers to narrative accounts of Moore's associations with her early publishers that offer a range of historical, contextual, biographical, and bibliographic information about the publication events of Moore's poems and explore her attempts to shape her literary career in concert with some of her most famous modernist peers - Richard Aldington, H.D., Harriet Monroe, Ezra Pound, and William Carlos Williams."--Jacket.
