The volume opens with unpublished lectures by one of the twentieth century's most distinguished bibliographers, R. B. McKerrow, followed by another of G. Thomas Tanselle's foundational essays on the description of books, this one on the bibliographical concept of format. Other articles trace the invention of the Hinman Collator, explore the nature of bibliographical reasoning, including the use of statistics, propose attributions to Samuel Richardson, and investigate puzzles in particular works from the Middle Ages through the nineteenth century. The articles and their authors are: ""The Relationship of English Printed Books to Authors' Manuscripts during the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries (The 1928 Sandars Lectures),"" R. B. McKerrow, edited by Carlo M. Bajetta, Catholic University of Milan and University of Genoa; ""The Concept of Format,"" G. Thomas Tanselle, Guggenheim Foundation; ""The Calculus of Calculus: W. W. Greg and the Mathematics of Everyman Editions,"" Joseph A. Dane, University of Southern California, and Rosemary A.

Volume

v. 55 : 2002 ISBN 9780813923246

Description

The fifty-fifth 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 The volume opens with Gordon Ray's unpublished Lyell Lectures, ""The Art Deco Book in France."" Accompanied by illustrations in the text and coordinated with a full display of Ray's images on the Web site of the Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia, the talks provide a sense of the movement as a whole as well as of the contributions of the major figures, the shapes of their careers, and the processes they employed. The editor of the lectures, G. Thomas Tanselle, also contributes an account of Ray as a distinguished scholar, teacher, and book collector. Other articles provide a history and full census of mechanical collating machines, examine the pivotal editorial work of R. B. McKerrow, offer a detailed analysis of the output of the London press in the early seventeenth century, resolve an old problem in the text of Fielding, and weigh new attributions (to Fielding and De Quincey).

Volume

v. 56 : 2003-2004 ISBN 9780813925301

Description

The fifty-sixth 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 volume opens with a historical consideration of the role of judgment in editing and a prognosis for its future. In a sequel to his 1971 article on the history of book jackets, G. Thomas Tanselle surveys the growing recognition of the importance of jackets over the past thirty-four years and provides a greatly expanded list of pre-1901 examples. Two major studies assess the growing field of book history and offer recommendations for its development. Two others deal with paper: one provides the earliest detailed description of a European paper mill and its manufacturing processes, and another considers the bibliographical implications of changes in papermaking at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Additional articles treat the bibliographical description of early printed music, offer new information about some eighteenth-century poems set to music, analyze the first publication of Shakespeare's plays in small formats, and investigate the role of collaboration in the writings of James Fenimore Cooper and the implications for modern editors.

Volume

v. 57 : 2005-2006 ISBN 9780813926537

Description

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.

Volume

v. 58 : 2007-2008 ISBN 9780813928784

Description

The fifty-eighth 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 volume begins with an essay examining an issue fundamental to all scholarly editing, the relationship between thoughts and the tangible records of those thoughts in physical documents. Three articles address the role of intermediaries between writers and readers: the contribution of one of the best-known medieval scribes to the texts he was copying, the use of speech prefixes in the plays of Shakespeare as a guide to the source from which the editions were set in type, and the phenomenon of basing printed editions of early English plays on shorthand transcriptions of actual performances. A related piece identifies directories of American bookstores in order to cast light on the insufficiently known process by which books moved from publishers to readers from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Other articles present a little-known set of regulations governing the conduct of workers in an English printing house around 1700 and trace the nineteenth-century development of a great Dante collection. The volume also includes another magisterial study of early book jackets by G. Thomas Tanselle, this time extending the examination into their florescence in the 1890s. The articles and their authors are: ""Mind and Textual Matter,"" Richard Bucci, Mark Twain Project; ""Scribal Intentions in Medieval Romance: A Case Study of Robert Thornton,"" John Ivor Carlson, Yale University; ""Compositor B's Speech-prefixes in the First Folio of Shakespeare and the Question of Copy for 2 Henry IV,"" S. W. Reid, Kent State University; ""Memorial Transmission, Shorthand, and John of Bordeaux."" Gerald E. Downs; ""The Bagford Chapel Rules: An Unknown Set of English Printing House Regulations from the Late 1600s or Early 1700s."" Alan D. Boehm, Middle Tennessee State University; ""'The Tragedy of the Book Industry'? Bookstores and Book Distribution in the United States to 1950,"" Michael Winship, University of Texas; ""Collecting Dante from Tuscany: The Formation of the Fiske Dante Collection at Cornell University,"" Christian Dupont, Independent Scholar; and, ""Book Jackets of the 1890s,"" G. Thomas Tanselle, John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.

Volume

v. 59 : 2015 ISBN 9780813933016

Description

The fifty-ninth volume of Studies in Bibliography 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. This volume opens with an excerpt from a forthcoming memoir by the eminent bibliographical and textual scholar G. Thomas Tanselle. Articles range in topic from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century and from manuscript production to the distribution of books by American bookstores. In a tour de force of bibliographical analysis, one piece examines the implications of inked pages that leave their images on adjacent leaves, and another provides new insights into the vexed question of the canon of Daniel Defoe. An advertisement for an early piracy of writings by Mark Twain and Bret Harte provides a springboard for a deeply contextual essay that demonstrates the complex interrelationships of the world of publishing and authorship, while another article on nineteenth-century books brings to light rare bindings issued by a major English publisher.
