Studies In Bibliography: Papers Of The Bibliographical Society Of The University Of Virginia (Volume 58),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The fiftyeighth 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 bestknown 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 midnineteenth to the midtwentieth century. Other articles present a littleknown set of regulations governing the conduct of workers in an English printing house around 1700 and trace the nineteenthcentury 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 Bs Speechprefixes in the First Folio of Shakespeare and the Question of Copy for 2 Henry IV,' S.
