I have, I think, three, of different complete manuscripts. I use one frequently for teaching, one frequently for research, and one, sorry to say, almost never, though I like having it because once in awhile it comes in handy for something. There are two more that I'm on-and-off considering for a project in the works, but as they're both available in LRU's library, I really don't need them. It would just be cool to have my own copies.Dame Eleanor Hullhttp://dameeleanorhull.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-71825497649304988772017-05-24T04:38:00.405-07:002017-05-24T04:38:00.405-07:00Yes, I was thinking of facsimile editions; I shoul...Yes, I was thinking of facsimile editions; I should have specified. Scholarly editions overall are, as you say, completely invaluable!Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-64932172104381686842017-05-23T11:13:00.780-07:002017-05-23T11:13:00.780-07:00Do you mean specifically facsimile editions?

These I use in my teaching and do find useful to some degree myself--it's just so much easier than EEBO!--but more likely for major authors (or the major-minor ones I work on) than minor ones, it's true.<br /><br />For scholarly editions as a whole, with their apparatus, variants, and so on--I need & use these all the time, when I'm lucky enough to have them. Maybe it's the era I was trained in, but I feel I can't make a credible argument about a text without being aware of its printed/MS history.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-30162122451611163132017-05-22T17:59:23.754-07:002017-05-22T17:59:23.754-07:00All the time, but what I do, as a scholar, is stud...All the time, but what I do, as a scholar, is study not-well-known texts. The Early English Text Society (not the Old English Sex Society---search my blog for that phrase to get the story) provides handsomely for my needs. It's the criticism, especially on Chaucer, that I'd like to get rid of.Dame Eleanor Hullhttp://dameeleanorhull.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
