Next time you re looking at a literary classic published by Penguin or OUP, have a flick through to front of the volume, and you are likely to find a Note on the Text . This will tell you where the editor has got the text from, and should outline the principles on which the t... Read the full review: A review of the two best editions! by LadyAudley |
