This volume is the third and penultimate in the Yale Boswell Editions' transcription of Boswell's heavily revised manuscript of his biography of Johnson. Designed as a research supplement to the Hill-Powell version of the 'Life' and employing the complex but accessible system devised for the series by the late Marshall Waingrow, the edition traces Boswell's processes of composition from first draft to final publication. It restores much deleted material, passages lost or overlooked at proof and revise stage, and corrects a host of compositorial and other errors and misreadings. Professor Bonnell's annotation clarifies a wide range of textual and editorial issues, and sheds new light on Boswell's processes of selection and deletion."

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume is the third in the Yale Boswell Editions' manuscript edition of the Life of Johnson, a four-volume sequence designed to stand as a research supplement to the Hill-Powell version of the Life. The first volume, edited by Marshall Waingrow and covering the years 17091765, appeared in 1994, and the second, 17661776, edited by Bruce Redford with Elizabeth Goldring, in 1998. In this volume, for the years 17761780, Thomas F. Bonnell continues the genetic transcription of Boswell's heavily revised manuscript-a master narrative into which Boswell keyed scores of satellite 'Papers Apart' and other documents-in the system devised by Waingrow for the series. The text picks up at the point at which Boswell and Johnson return to London after a Spring jaunt in 1776 to the English midlands, and follows Johnson through the years during which he began, laboured on, and then produced the first several volumes of the greatest work of his later career, the Prefaces, Biographical and Critical, to The Works of the English Poets (commonly known as the 'Lives of the Poets'). Bonnell's transcription tracks the many and various changes made in manuscript, proof, revises, and successive published editions, identifies (and for the first time in many instances definitively corrects) compositorial and other misreadings and errors that have long remained undetected, and restores a revealing array of deleted and lost material. The third and penultimate volume in the Yale Research Edition's genetic transcription of the manuscript of Boswell's biographical masterwork. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780748606047
