birthday in January 2009, I wrote a memoir in the form of a tour guide to my
living room, with descriptions of the objects it contains and the
associations they have for me. I am delighted that the Council of the
Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia has agreed to publish this memoir in due course, along
with some of my other autobiographical essays and pieces on book collecting,
as a separate volume. I am also pleased that the editor of Studies in
Bibliography, who has long shown an interest in biographical
studies of bibliographers, wishes to print a few excerpts from the memoir
here. I have selected eleven sections out of forty-five—those
numbered 1, 5, 7–10, 13, 17, 18, 22, and 36, which are some of the
ones most directly related to the world of books and bibliography. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 14 | Author: | | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Studies in Bibliography, Volume 10 (1957) | | | | Published: | 1997 | | | | Subjects: | | Studies in Bibliography | | | | Description: | A CHECK list of the previous year's bibliographical scholarship will hereafter become a regular department in Studies in Bibliography. The present list is experimental: overlooked items will be cumulated in the 1950 compilation. The editor would appreciate copies of off-prints or collected publications containing material for listing, although reviews cannot be undertaken. Interested persons are invited to send references to books or articles which should appear here. This annual listing does not propose to treat the large number of enumerative catalogues which acquaint scholars with secondary publications in their field or assist libraries in the performance of their duties. Instead, the single attempt is made to bring together a selective account of primary investigations dealing with printing and publishing history, and bibliographical treatment of authors and their books, together with such critical or textual studies as are based on
bibliographical evidence or the interpretation of basic documents. The claims of history have not been entirely excluded under these conditions; but in general the emphasis in Part II is placed on English and American literature. In Part I some few works on manuscripts are noted, but no attempt has been made to collect this material comprehensively. The compilers gratefully acknowledge a number of items suggested by Mr. Rollo Silver and Mr. John Wyllie. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
