Long recognized as a masterpiece of modern American poetry, William Carlos Williams' Paterson is one man's testament and vision, "a humanist manifesto enacted in five books, a grammar to help us live" (Denis Donoghue). Paterson is both a place—the New Jersey city in whom the person (the poet's own life) and the public (the history of the region) are combined. Originally four books (published individually between 1946 and 1951), the structure of Paterson (in Dr. Williams' words) "follows the course of teh Passaic River" from above the great falls to its entrance into the sea. The unexpected Book Five, published in 1958, affirms the triumphant life of the imagination, in spite of age and death. This revised edition has been meticulously re-edited by Christopher MacGowan, who has supplied a wealth of notes and explanatory material.

Excerpt from History of Paterson and Its Environs (the Silk City), Vol. 2: Historical, Genealogical, Biographical In 1831 the appropriation for education was $300, and it remained at that figure for 1832, a similar sum being received from the State. In 1835 the Legislature enacted a law providing for the election of school trustees and allowing these a share of the money appropriated by the State for school purposes. In 1836 the appropriation for the support of the public schools of Paterson was only $200; in 1844 it had risen to $400.
