The fifty-seventh volume of ""Studies"" continues its tradition of
presenting a wide range of articles by international scholars on
bibliography, textual criticism, and other aspects of the study of
books. The essays extend chronologically from the identification of
Middle English poetry in early prose documents to an analysis of
revisions in a post-modern novel. Their geographical span is also
broad, ranging from a study of an English play with revisions
sometimes believed to be in Shakespeare's hand to trendsetting g
innovations in early Italian printing and to the history of Henry
Fielding's writings in China. The opening essay, by G. Thomas
Tanselle, expands the scope thematically as well by applying
principles of textual criticism of verbal works to the visual and
aural arts. Two major studies refine significant bibliographical
accomplishments of the past by examining anew the printing of
Spenser's Faerie Queene and the paper of Shakespeare's plays in
quarto. The volume also includes another contribution to the series
on great bibliographers. Other important essays provide Mary
Astell's manuscript revisions for one of her works, consider the
implications of bibliographical insights for the understanding of
literary history, and analyze a controversial theory of
attribution.
