[Notes: ‘The New Rome’ was Buchanan’s final volume of poetry, published in 1898. In the 1901 edition of ‘The Complete Poetical Works of Robert Buchanan’, the various sections are published under their separate titles and are not grouped together as ‘The New Rome’. Pan At Hampton Court is not included since it was originally published as part of ‘The Earthquake’ (1885), and the second poem in ‘The Last Christians’ - I Saw on the Bridge of Sorrow (renamed The Ballad of the Magdalen in the text) is also omitted, since it appears in its earlier incarnation as Mary Magdalen from ‘The City of Dream’ (1888). A section of ‘Miscellaneous Poems’ is also inserted between The Devil’s Sabbath and I End As I Began and the Prose Note is omitted. ]
