Contact seller4-star selleroctavo, printed wrappers. Condition: New. octavo, printed wrappers. (xvi), 268pp. St. Paul's, The definitive work on the nature of textual bibliography and criticism which has established itself as an essential tool for students of bibliography and for anyone else concerned witht he editing of serious literature. It is based ont… he study of extracts from the early texts of 12 works of literature, ranging from Harington's Orlando Furioso, 1591; to Dickens' David Copperfield, 1850; to Tom Stoppard's Travesties, 1974. By tracing the texts through their many stages from writer to reader, Gaskell reveals how a work is subject to variations of composition (e.g., an author's revision of the printed proof) and variations of transmission, resulting from the process of copying, printing, and publicaiton. Gaskell categorizes the role of the editor as that of textual bibliographer, one who establishes texts and readings by finding out how and with what intentions they were written and reproduced. He presents the editor also as a literary critic who judges texts as works of art and states preferences for different readings. Examples show how, by combining a critical judgment with an understanding of textual bibliography, an editor can establish "critical text" that is as authoritative as the evidence allows, and then present it in the form best suited to its intended audience.

paper wrappers. 8vo. paper wrappers. viii, 268 pages. Reprint of the first edition. Very small abrasion to spine, else near fine. Most of the major works of English literature are readily available today only in versions that are sadly inadequate. There are few reliable specialist editions; much worse, the majority of the paperb…ack texts of English and American authors that are sold in their millions to students and general readers are corrupt and misleading. This is as unnecessary as it is undesirable. By combining a critical judgement with an understanding of textual bibliography, an editor can establish a "critical text" that is as authoritative as the evidence allows and present it in the form best suited to the intended audience. The examples given in this book show how this may be done. Dr. Gaskell presents extracts from the early texts of twelve works of literature. He has chosen them not only because of their importance as works of art but also on account of the quantity and variety of the surviving textual evidence; and so, by skillfully following each extract through its surviving stages from writer to reader, he encompasses a variety of subjects and treatments.
