This collection presents fourteen essays on annotating
eighteenth-century literature. Authored by editors and annotators
of current standard editions—such as California’s Works of John
Dryden, the Florida Edition of the Works of Laurence Sterne, and
the Yale Edition of the Works of Samuel Johnson—this book
explores theoretical perspectives on critical editing and the
practical work of annotation. Through examples from their own
editorial work, the contributors illuminate the personal dilemmas
and decisions confronting the annotator of texts: What information
in the text needs annotation? When does one stop annotating? How
does one manage the annotation-versus-interpretation problem?
Brimming with erudition, Notes on Footnotes showcases the precision
and attentiveness of some of the world’s foremost editors and
annotators. The book is necessary reading—not only for scholars
of the eighteenth century but also for scholarly editors of texts
of all historical periods, book historians, and book lovers in
general. In addition to the editors, the contributors include Kate
Bennett, Robert DeMaria Jr., Michael Edson, Robert D. Hume, Stephen
Karian, Elizabeth Kraft, Thomas Lockwood, William McCarthy,
Maximillian E. Novak, Shef Rogers, Robert G. Walker, and Marcus
Walsh.
