This article discusses the challenge of editing Fulke Greville’s lyric sequence Caelica for the new Oxford Greville edition. Printed posthumously, though a few poems had leaked into print during Greville’s long lifetime, the work evolved over nearly fifty years, reaching an almost final form in the Warwick manuscript, a scribal copy heavily annotated with Greville’s revisions, many in his own hand. How does the editor both fix a text and represent the process of its evolution?
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
