Thread Name: Origins: Griesly Bride
Subject: RE: Origins: Griesly Bride
Guest on Oct. 6, 2002 posted the version of the poem "The Griesly Wife" that agrees with that printed in my copy of Perrine's Sound and Sense: An Introduction to Poetry. The one posted further up in the thread that is attributed to that book is considerably shorter and also altered. This text notes that griesly should be understood as "uncanny."
