Be careful!
I bought this with the intention of studying 'The Village,' one of Crabbe' most famous poems. However, when the book arrived, I found this edition does not have the complete poem in it. The majority is present, but significant chunks have been cut. There are also only small sections from 'The Parish Register' included. As an introduction to his works, this edition is a good overview, but if you are reading him seriously, this is probably not what you want
