【Summary】
This volume presents a groundbreaking discussion of textual criticism, with particular emphasis on printed texts from the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In this work, Jerome J. McGann—professor at the John Stewart Bryan University of Virginia—develops a critical reassessment of Anglo-American theories of critical editing.
McGann’s approach is grounded in the sociology of texts, arguing that textual meaning cannot be separated from the material conditions of a work’s production. Factors such as printing, publishing, dissemination, and reception are treated as integral to the constitution of meaning. Drawing inspiration from developments in literary theory since the late 1960s and 1970s—when criticism moved away from the one-sidedness of New Criticism and strict structuralism—McGann elucidates the deep interconnections between textual criticism, bibliography, and broader literary and social theory.
