Notes on Contributors

Jocelyn Harris, Lecturer in English at the University of Otago, New Zealand, edited the complete Sir Charles Grandison for the Oxford English Novels series (1972). Having invested so much time and energy in the most prolix user of the English language, she intends to stand by him a little longer.

Mason Tung, author of several articles on Milton in Studies in Philology, Texas Studies, Seventeenth-Century News, and the Milton Encyclopedia (in press), began the study of emblem literature in 1970. This essay on Whitney is but a point of departure to a more ambitious undertaking of examining the emblematic imagery in Spenser's minor poetry and of establishing a common principle governing the making of emblems and the creation of emblematic imagery. Ultimately, he would like to produce an iconographical edition of Spenser's The Faerie Queene.

S. W. Reid, Associate Professor of English at Kent State University and textual editor of its CEAA edition of C. B. Brown, is working on the textual transmission of Middleton's Game at Cheese and the texts of George Meredith, as well as Compositor B.

Downs Publication Fund, and is preparing a guide to accompany the forthcoming microfilm publication of the archives of the nineteenth-century publisher Richard Bentley and Son.

Michael D. Bliss, Assistant Professor of English at Carnegie-Mellon University, has also published on Fielding. This article on Warburton is part of a comprehensive study of the many pre-Restoration dramatic manuscripts, most of them now lost, which passed through the hands of the seventeenth-century publisher Humphrey Moseley.

James M. Kuist, Associate Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, has written on Sterne, Malone, Gray, and Nichols, and for years has been gathering the materials to write a history of The Gentleman's Magazine.

Karen Mulhallen, Professor of English at Ryerson Institute, is editor of Descant (Toronto), and a review editor of the Canadian Forum. She is currently writing a book on Blake's illustration to Young's Night Thoughts. She has been interested for some time in Blake's thriftiness.

She has recently co-authored with Leona Rostenberg Old & Rare: Thirty Years in the Book Business and her most recent work was the ending of Behind a Mask: The Unknown Thrillers of Louisa May Alcott.

James J. Barnes is an Associate Professor of History at Wabash College and author of various articles and books on the British and American book trade since 1800. Most recently (1974) he published an article in the Wiener Library Bulletin on the 1933 abridged English translation of Hitler's Mein Kampf, and a book, Authors, Publishers and Politicians, dealing with the quest for an Anglo-American copyright agreement in the nineteenth century.
