About this title

Synopsis

Originally published by Oxford U. Press in 1978 (and subsequently reissued in the UK by St. Paul's Bibliographies in 1985). Gaskell (author of A New Introduction to Bibliography ) presents extracts from the early texts of 12 works of literature, chosen because of their importance as works of art and because of the quality of surviving textual evidence. He follows them through the stages from writer to reader, showing editors' work at its best. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
