Review Of Journal (Volume I: 1837-1844) By Henry D. Thoreau; Edited By John C. Broderick, Elizabeth Hall Witherell, William L. Howarth, Robert Sattelmeyer, And Thomas Blanding., Philip F. Gura
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)
The recent appearance from Princeton University Press of the first volume (1837-1844) of Thoreau's massive Journal is a signal event for scholars of American literature, and any who doubt the fact need only read the editors' "General Introduction" (intended as a prefatory statement to the entire publication project) to learn why. The tale told therein of Thoreau's friends' and previous editors' conscious and unconscious alterations of his text recalls the ill treatment afforded another classic American writer at the hands of her friends and editors. Mabel Loomis Todd, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, and Martha Dickinson Bianchi perhaps did Emily Dickinson's readers …

Microform Editions Of Documentary Collections: Where Do We Stand? And Where Do We Go From Here?, Thomas E. Jeffrey
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)
The following essay is intended to serve as a brief introduction to the world of scholarly micro-publishing.

It will also allude to some recent developments in the micro-publication of documentary collections, such as comprehensive microfiche editions and microfiche supplements to printed books, computer-generated microfiche, and selective (rather than comprehensive) microform editions.

The spring 1982 publication of the first four volumes of The Library of America (Hawthorne, Melville, Stowe, Whitman) inaugurated a series that is expected to produce and keep permanently in print more than one hundred volumes. Four more volumes (Mark Twain, Howells, and two of Jack London) will have appeared by the time this account is published. These volumes are the initial concrete expression of a movement dating from the late 1940s and early 1950s to collect, preserve, publish, and disseminate widely the best texts of classic American writings.

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)
The publication of the Selected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru was undertaken by the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund in New Delhi in 1968. The object was to help build a corpus of Nehru's writings and speeches on a variety of subjects which span over a period of fifty years of active political life of one of this century's foremost public leaders and statesmen. It was a stupendous task to collect his writings from various sources, ranging from government archives to private individuals. The task was, however, made less difficult by the availability of a large number of Nehru's letters and other …

There is rarely unanimity of opinion about how manuscripts should be edited. Some argue for a literati m transcription, others for silent emendations made for reader utility. But what of texts where the process of composition is as important as the finished product? The editors of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin: A Genetic .

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)
In the May 1982 Newsletter, p. 9, I was happy to see Joel Myerson's notice of my system for transcribing manuscripts (Studies in Bibliography 29 [1976]: 212-264). I should like to add a few comments on what I take to be the peculiar virtues of this system as against the so-called genetic-text system using various symbols, not all of which are agreed upon by editors and which strain a lay reader's memory if my own difficulty in reading such texts is any guide.

Two items in the September 1982 Newsletter deal with matters I should like to comment on: Philip F. Gura's review of the Thoreau Journal, Vol. I, in which he compares the editorial methods of that edition with those of the Emerson Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks UMN); and Fredson Bowers' letter to the Editor, commenting on differences between the systems used to record manuscript alterations (or to present a genetic text) in the Emerson JMN and in Professor Bowers' editions of William James and others.
