Tanselle: Introduction to Scholarly Editing (2002) 9 PREFACE This booklet is the eighteenth revision of a syllabus that has been distributed to my Columbia classes on scholarly editing since the first one in the spring of 1981. The first three sections of the Appendix (Parts 6-8 below) were originally designed as a supplement to my essay in The Center for Scholarly Editions: An Introductory Statement (Modern Language Association of America, 1977), which treated the literature of the field through 1976. In 1990, that portion of the syllabus was distributed by the Committee on Scholarly Editions under the title An Interim Supplement to "The Center for Scholarly Editions: An Introductory Statement" (1977), and annual revisions of the Interim Supplement (gradually including more parts of the syllabus) were distributed by the Committee over the next six years (the last being A Seventh Interim Supplement, dated 1996). For the seventeenth revision (1998) of the syllabus, the books and articles mentioned in my 1977 essay were incorporated into Parts 6-8. Because the result was no longer merely supplementary, it was made more widely available as a publication of the <strong>Book</strong> Arts Press, which is now publishing the latest revision. (From 1990 on, the <strong>Book</strong> Arts Press has also published the successive revisions of the syllabus for my companion course on descriptive and analytical bibliography and the history of the book, under the title Introduction to Bibliography: Seminar Syllabus.) Parts 1-5 are selective lists of suggested readings that collectively provide an introduction to the activity and traditions of scholarly editing. The first two offer two kinds of selections from the fuller lists in the Appendix: Part 1 consists of recommended initial readings on each basic step in the process of producing a scholarly edition; Part 2, more historical in approach, is a gathering of some of the more significant writings from the long history of textual criticism. Parts 3-5 are selections from other relevant categories of material, not in general covered in the Appendix: examples of the writings about punctuation, spelling, and other visual aspects of texts; examples of English-language scholarly editions and procedural manuals produced by the staffs of such editions; and examples of noteworthy reviews of scholarly editions. In contrast to these highly selective lists, the Appendix attempts to provide a considerably more comprehensive record of the literature of textual criticism and scholarly editing. Although it ranges broadly, its focus is on twentieth-century writings in English that have general theoretical or methodological significance. (It therefore excludes--with some exceptions--the works that concentrate on the textual problems in individual authors or assess particular editions; some guides to that material are mentioned in Part 2, section G.) Parts 6-7 list chronologically the writings on theory and practice, divided into two sections roughly according to whether the works treated are pre-Renaissance (the primary witnesses to which are frequently manuscripts not contemporaneous with the authors) or postmedieval (generally attested to by manuscripts and printed books contemporaneous with the authors). (Many of the writings of general significance, however, are noted only in Part 7; and many of the discussions of manuscript texts listed in Part 6 are relevant to work in later periods as well.) Part 8 reports the beginnings of a rapidly expanding literature, that dealing with the use of computers in textual work. Part 9, on the analysis of manufacturing clues in the objects bearing verbal texts, is reprinted (with revisions) from the other syllabus because much of the work in analytical bibliography has been motivated by textual concerns and because bibliographical analysis--though not limited in its usefulness to textual research--is an integral part of the process of investigating textual histories. (Of course, an editor needs to draw on knowledge of all the aspects of book history covered in the other syllabus.) The aim of my course is to provide an introduction to the rationale and procedures of preparing This page is from a document available in full at http://www.rarebookschool.org/tanselle/
