walrus’s Reviews > The Annotated Archy and Mehitabel > Status Update

Glad I picked this up, putting the original unedited poems from the newspaper column makes it feel much more of the time, although Mehitabel's role is massively less than the more well-known collected editions that came later. I think I prefer the more high-minded and whimsical literary tone of the collected editions, but it is interesting how significant the editing for those editions was vs how the poems started.
