Textual Editing and Criticism: An Introduction

by Erick Kelemen, Donald H. Reiman (Foreword)

Textual Editing and An Introduction addresses a gap in currently available materials for English and American literature teachers who bring textual editing and criticism into their courses. This book introduces undergraduate and beginning graduate students to the field and provides them with a broad range of examples and materials for hands-on practice. Textual Editing and An Introduction is concerned with both the history of the text and the aesthetic and political choices made in textual transmission. It is intended for courses concerned with questions of literary interpretation and value.

Good source for my English grad class on annotated bibs and research, some references were a little out of date, but otherwise pretty useful. Will definitely revisit when doing research for textual evidence help.

I have not completed this book, but have read parts of it and will come back to it. A very good resource for deep thinking about how to analyze and improve a text.

Excellent guide for those in need of a cursory, yet detailed examination of textual editing as a theory and a practice.

Had to read for class. Stopped doing the reading at some point. Will not finish on my own accord.
