The modern published editions in which we read the great literary
works of the distant and recent past almost invariably embody the
work of a textual editor. Recent literary theory has called into
question most of the assumptions on which the practice of textual
editing has historically depended. Notions of authorial intention,
authority, the status of annotation and commentary, the
relationship between 'literary' and non-literary works (such as
letters and dictionaries), and hence the concept of literature
itself, are central to this debate. This volume of essays, written
by practising textual editors and scholars, addresses the practical
implications of these theoretical issues, taking a variety of texts
as examples for the particular editorial problems they pose. The
works of authors as various as Shakespeare and John Clare, Samuel
Johnson and D. H. Lawrence, Milton and Oscar Wilde are invoked to
demonstrate the practical basis of an editorial discipline which
requires theoretical sophistication but resists reduction to any
single theory.
