Textual Scholarship

Overview

This book is the first to address the entire spectrum of textual scholarship: enumerative and research bibliography; descriptive and analytical bibliography ; paleography and typography; historical and textual bibliography; textual criticism and textual theory; scholarly editing. Designed for editors, literary and textual critics, and students, this historical and methodological survey is richly illustrated with line drawings and photographs. There is a bibliography of scholarship (including a list of standard editions in various fields), an appendix of illustrated types of scholarly editions with interpretive commentary, and a full index. The text is suitable for courses in research methods, critical editing, philology, paleography, manuscript studies, publishing, publishing history, and the history of the book and is an essential aid to graduate students in language and literature.
