Jonathan Swift: The Battle of the Books (1710)

The Battle of the (Annotated) Books


Who would have thought that the production of annotated editions of classic texts took place on such embattled ground?

I've tried to list as many details as I could find about each of the major 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 another set of titles, published (for the most part) by Harvard University's Belknap Press.

In some cases, which I've marked with an asterisk below, the Belknap title is in competition with another book, 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:

Emily Jane Brontë: The Complete Poems (1992)


I own quite a few editions of Emily Brontë's poems. Of them all, though, I think it's safe to say that Janet Gezari's seems the most straightforward and reliable.
  1. [1923] The Complete Poems of Emily Jane Brontë, Arranged and Collated, with Bibliography and Notes, by C. W. Hatfield. Ed. Clement Shorter. London: Hodder & Stoughton Ltd., 1923.
  2. [1941] Emily Jane Brontë. The Complete Poems. Ed. C. W. Hatfield. 1941. New York & London: Columbia University Press & Oxford University Press, 1963.
  3. [1951] The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë. Ed. Philip Henderson. London: The Folio Society, 1951.
  4. [1955] Gondal's Queen: A Novel in Verse by Emily Brontë. Ed. Fannie Elizabeth Ratchford. Austin: University of Texas Press / London: Thomas Nelson and Sons Limited, 1955.
  5. [1992] Emily Jane Brontë. The Complete Poems. Ed. Janet Gezari. Penguin English Poets. Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1992.
  6. [1996] The Poems of Emily Brontë. Ed. Derek Roper with Edward Chitham. Oxford English Texts. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1996.
When I saw that she'd edited an annotated edition of Wuthering Heights as well, it was the work of a moment to order it. Which, in its turn, led me down the rabbithole of this particular set of annotated texts, hitherto only dimly hovering on the edges of my literary spidey sense.

As you can see from the listings above, there's a strong emphasis on Jane Austen - all six of her novels are included, though most (not all) of them have been anticipated by David M. Shapard's Herculean task of Austen annotation (2007-2017).



Then there's Oscar Wilde. I count five annotated titles in the Harvard series. Their only rival in this respect is H. Montgomery Hyde's pioneering Annotated Oscar Wilde (1982).

What else? There's quite a lot of American history: the Constitution & Declaration of Independence, an Annotated Lincoln, and an annotated version of The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant (2017) - now rivalled by a 2019 annotated version in the Liveright "Annotated American History Series".

There's a strong emphasis on the Gothic impulse in some of the other literature included in their list: An Annotated Poe, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Then again, there are American classics such as Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and an Annotated Emerson, which hardly fit that description.

Perhaps their (relative) pastoral innocence is echoed by the inclusion of The Wind in the Willows - though certainly not by Darwin's Origin of Species, one of two scientific classics to make the cut, alongside Wallace's On the Organic Law of Change, the manuscript of his fascinating 1855-59 "Species Notebook" ...

All in all, it's an eclectic but strangely satisfying list. Are they intending to continue with it? The annotatory impulse seems to have hit a bit of a roadblock tecently - with no new titles in either series, the Belknap or the Norton, for a few years now.

Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Annotated Anne of Green Gables (1997)
Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Annotated Anne of Green Gables. 1908. Ed. Margaret Anne Doody, Mary Doody Jones, & Wendy Barry. New York: Oxford University Press, 1997.

Of course, there are always outliers: "annotated" books issued by other publishers as one-offs. I listed some of these in my previous post on the subject. Here are a few others which have come to my attention since then, though.



The irrepressible Margaret Anne Doody, whose fascinating book The True Story of the Novel I made a few remarks about a few years ago, helmed this excellent effort to rehabilitate that evergreen Canadian classic Anne of Green Gables, which is a much better book than those who've endured the various TV adaptations would believe.


Laura Ingalls Wilder: Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography (2014)
Laura Ingalls Wilder. Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography. Ed. Pamela Smith Hill. A Publication of the Pioneer Girl Project: Nancy Tystad Koupal, Director; Rodger Hartley, Associate Editor; Jeanne Kilen Ode, Associate Editor. Pierre: South Dakota Historical Society Press, 2014.

Perhaps that was what inspired the excellent Pamela Smith Hill in her more recent efforts to do the same thing for Laura Ingalls Wilder - again, a far more interesting author than the ghastly saccharine of the Little House on the Prairie TV series would lead one to believe.



Then there are various versions of classics which could easily be described as "annotated" if it weren't for copyright restraints on the term. For instance, these "illustrated" editions of Lytton Strachey's two major works:

Lytton Strachey. Eminent Victorians: The Illustrated Edition. 1918. Foreword by Frances Partridge. London: Bloomsbury, 1988.

&

Lytton Strachey: The Illustrated Queen Victoria (1988)
Strachey, Lytton. The Illustrated Queen Victoria. 1921. Introduction by Michael Holroyd. 1987. London: Guild Publishing, 1988.

Which leads me to the topic of Sterling Publishing's "Illustrated" series. They've published a number of children's books under the general title of Sterling Illustrated Classics.

As well as these, however, there are (at least) two rather less easily classifiable "illustrated classics" - neither of which seems appropriate for children, or indeed many unadventurous adults:

Sigmund Freud. The Interpretation of Dreams: Illustrated Edition. 1900. Trans. A. A. Brill. 1913. Ed. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson. New York: Sterling Publishing Co. Inc., 2010.



&

Charles Darwin: On the Origin of Species (2011)
Charles Darwin. On the Origin of Species: The Illustrated Edition. 1859. Ed. David Quammen. 2008. Sterling Signature. New York: Sterling Publishing Co., Inc., 2011.

Lynn Donaldson: David Quammen (1948- )


I'd be very intrigued to know if there were any other titles of this kind issued in this putative series. It seems quite likely. I recall Jeffrey Masson mentioning to me that the same publishers had asked him to edit an illustrated edition of Melville's Moby-Dick for them, but I don't see any evidence that that ever came to pass.

As for The Origin of Species, you'll find this title listed up above as one of the various rivals of the Belknap press edition.

To be continued ...
