Cecil Hadgraft writes: 'There is no complete edition of the poems of Stephens. Some that were published in periodicals and newspapers have not been collected, while some in manuscript have not been printed at all. These are not in themselves of much importance. The Poetical Works of 1902 is the best collection and omits little of consequence except The Godolphin Arabian, which is to be found only as an individual volume.' (Cecil Hadgraft James Brunton Stephens (1969): 123).
