Many works appear in multiple editions for a variety of reasons: some authors change their work from edition to edition (or printing to printing); sometimes works are edited to appeal to a new audience or conform to new literary conventions; sometimes texts change in the publication process. This exercise provides an opportunity for students to analyze and interpret multiple editions of the same text in order to focus on issues of textual stability, editorial choice, and critical apparatus.
As you work through this exercise, please keep the following in mind:
1. You must comply with all of the rules of the Rare Book Room.
For the first part of this exercise, you will need to review a designated passage from two different editions of the same text.
Based on your analysis of the passage in these two texts and the texts themselves, you should be able to write a brief (one to two page) essay in which you develop some ideas about the definition of an edition and/or the editorial process.
Please keep the following in mind:
