[Next Project] Poetry, by Robert Louis Stevenson

[ʗharlie ßowman]

After wrapping up The Princess and Curdie, I'd like to tackle the poetry of Robert L. Stevenson.

• Spreadsheet
• Repository

Primary sources:

• The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Volume 14 (scans transcripts)
• The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Volume 28 (scans transcripts)
• New Poems And Variant Readings (scans transcript)
• Poems Hitherto Unpublished (scans transcript)

For the cover, I propose Boys Playing on the Shore by Albert Edelfel.

OK, sounds good. Vince will manage with David reviewing.

Vince, first question:

 

• New Poems And Variant Readings has a few instances where two versions of part of a line are stacked on top of each other ( example page 134). How should I style this?

I’m headed out for the evening, but please provide a link to the page (not just the book), and I’ll look at it tomorrow.

I encountered something similar in Don Juan.

<p>
<span>He had been ill brought up, <span class="variant">besides was<br/>
besides being</span> bilious.</span>
</p>

[epub|type~="z3998:verse"] span.variant{
border-left: 1px solid;
border-radius: 5px;
border-right: 1px solid;
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 .5em 0 .5em;
text-indent: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
}

I think that is just what I need. Thanks Emma!
