This book presents a selection of the writings of Sir Walter Wilson Greg (1875-1959), one of the leading bibliographers of the twentieth century and, along with R.B. McKerrow and A.W. Pollard, the founder of the New Bibliography that dominated twentieth-century textual studies. The articles and chapters included here begin with Greg's first major bibliographic triumph in 1908, when he elucidated the mystery of a collection of early seventeenth-century Shakespearean quartos. Applying the techniques of the New Bibliography, Greg revealed these texts to be the first attempt at a collected edition of Shakespeare, by a printer who lacked the authority to issue such an edition. Other selections trace Greg's contributions to bibliography and textual criticism throughout his half-century of work. Many of these selections are drawn from books now out of print. Rosenblum makes accessible these important but hard-to-find pieces. Taken together, these pieces illustrate not only Greg's monumental contributions, but also the approach to texts characteristic of twentieth-century bibliographers. The introductory essays trace Greg's life and accomplishments. The volume also includes a comprehensive bibliography of Greg's own writings. Students of the history of the book, of Shakespeare, of bibliography, and of library science will find this a valuable resource.

Joseph Rosenblum teaches English at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and at Guilford College. He is the author of three previous books, including A Bibliographic History of the Book (Scarecrow, 1995).
This collection of essays illuminates Greg's key role in the history of 20th-century bibliographic scholarship and makes available an important sampling of his theoretical writings and critical studies. (AB Bookman's Weekly)
Most of his seminal papers are collected here, including "The Rationale of Copy-Text", "Bibliographical Analysis" and "What is Bibliography?" (The Library Association Record)
Scarecrow Press ha[s] produced a well-bound and clearly-printed book...Greg's ideas in bibliography and textual editing are still relevant in our electronic age. Joseph Rosenblum's excellent tribute should be in every library collecting seminal works in the humanities. (Reference Reviews)
It is good to see before us this volume in the Great Bibliographers Series. (Épilogue)
...the collection will serve library science students...or graduate students in the humanities...to introduce the discipline and concepts that have shaped the scholarly literature of the second part of the century. (The Papers Of The Bibliographic Society Of America)
