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.
