Jonathan Swift: The Battle of the Books (1710)

The Battle of the (Annotated) Books


Who would have thought that the field of publishing annotations of classic texts was such bitterly contested ground?

I've tried to list as many details as I could find about each of the most prominent series in my earlier posts on the Clarkson N. Potter and Norton Annotated Editions, Landmark Ancient Histories, and Longman Annotated English Poets. I'm following up on that here with an almost equally extensive list of titles, published (for the most part) by the Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.

In some cases, which I've marked with an asterisk below, the Belknap Press series is in direct competition with another series, as in the case of The Wind in the Willows, where two different editions appeared in the same year, 2009: one from the well-established Norton series, the other from Harvard University Press.

I've marked each of the books I own copies of in bold:
