Kenneth M. Price offered crucial advice in the early stages, and he and Susan Belasco read the whole draft, making in- valuable suggestions. George Bornstein offered a careful reading and en- couragement. Thomas Dwyer, formerly of the University of Michigan Press, encouraged me to expand the scope of the book to its current form. My experience years ago working on the Whitman Archive first led me to think about the history and significance of editing, and the Archive’s resources were later critical to thinking through Whitman’s complex relationship to literary collection. The staff and affiliated faculty of the Center for Digi- tal Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln have been continually helpful in consulting about digital editing. I especially thank my friends and colleagues Elizabeth Lorang, Andrew Jewell, Brett Barney, and Katherine Walter for their support. Portions of some of these chapters were presented at the Society for Tex- tual Scholarship, where I received valuable feedback and encouragement: in particular, Martha Nell Smith and Peter Shillingsburg offered comments and queries that helped shape the direction of the chapter on Cold War editing. Additionally, Bethany Nowviskie, Amy Earhart, Ed Folsom, and Melissa Homestead answered crucial questions, and Jerome McGann made very helpful suggestions that strengthened the final chapter in particular. My readers for the University of Michigan Press gave extremely helpful feedback. The Peoria Public Library sent me scans of a fascinating docu- ment in their special collections, and Leo D. Blake of the Walt Whitman House sent me materials that helped me understand Whitman’s difficulties with his tomb. Revised Pages viii acknowledgments Most of all, I thank my daughter, Millie, and son, Ned, who patiently cooperated as their mother finished this book; my parents, Jerry and Vicky Gailey, who were continually supportive; and my husband, Leo Iacono, who read it again and again.

The Death of the Author Has Been Greatly Exaggerated 107 Notes 141 Index 157 Revised Pages Revised Pages Introduction This book originates from my interest in the history of literary editing, par- ticularly in how it has shaped my own field of American literature. How has the way we organize, package, and represent literature impacted the cul- ture in which it is produced? The subject of editing seems straightforward, and to its critics even dry,1 but editorial choices have stealthily shaped the American literary canon for centuries, forging authorial legacies, producing regional and national propaganda, and generally working as a determinant for what and how we consider American literature. There are many kinds of editing, of course, including commercial editors who work with authors to publish their texts2 in magazines or books for the first time, consultants who improve the readability of a work, scholars who treat historical materi- als, and so on— editing is really a broad term that includes a range of labor that has grown increasingly specialized, from the early stationers who edit- ed, printed, and sold books in one shop to the highly segmented scholarly and commercial markets of today. But through the radical transformations of the American literary marketplace from the eighteenth to the twenty- first century, one kind of editing has held firm as the gold standard, as the way we assert the lasting value of an author and his or her works within the canon: the creation of collected editions. From the earliest days of the Republic when printer Francis Bailey helped produce a collected edition of Philip Freneau, “the Poet of the Revo- lution,” to the digital age, when scholars at research universities collaborate to create a dynamic and ever-gr owing collected edition of the works of Walt Whitman, collected editions have powerfully but for the most part silently helped shape the way authorship and textuality have been viewed in the American cultural imaginary. This book examines how collected editions Revised Pages 2 proofs of genius have helped shape American literature, erecting monuments to individual people on the cultural landscape. My study does not attempt to be compre- hensive, but instead examines several important periods and cases in the development of the genre within the American national context. In doing so it looks at how representative authors, editors, publishers, and readers have used the collected edition to build national and regional cultural iden- tity, to assert intellectual property, to market books, to construct feminized and private literary marketplaces, to manage authorial reputation, to influ- ence the humanities, and to construct the field of digital literary scholar- ship. A more encyclopedic, international examination of the collected edi- tion— a massive undertaking— would also be valuable to book history, but my focus on American collected editions allows this study to more clearly examine the way the genre has functioned within a specific national liter- ary economy, helping to forge an American literary canon and providing an aspirational standard for professional and amateur authors, as well as publishers and editors, as those roles were becoming defined and redefined. This introduction will describe the book’s working definition of “collected edition,” discuss how the concept of genius provided a motivation for many of the volumes, and offer a brief overview of how the collected edition has helped build a national literary identity. 1. Defining “Collected Edition” Historical shifts in the genre of the collected edition demand that any wide- ranging study work with a flexible understanding of the form. Except when they provide illuminating examples, I have omitted collected editions of theo- logical, political, and historical materials, limiting this study to literary texts. Even with that limitation, I find “collected edition” tricky to define. Today we think of collected editions as complete collections of a single author’s writ- ings (with “writings” itself being a fraught category with nebulous bound- aries) professionally published after his or her death. But almost none

  • Vulgarity in Literature and the Visual Arts of the English- Speaking World
    H-Announce Vulgarity in Literature and the Visual Arts of the English- speaking World Announcement published by Marianne Hillion on Friday, March 9, 2018 Type: Call for Papers Date: March 19, 2018 Location: France Subject Fields: Art, Art History & Visual Studies, Literature, Linguistics, American History / Studies, British History / Studies CONFERENCE - Vulgarity in literature and the visual arts of the English-speaking world Paris Sorbonne University June 2, 2018 Deadline for abstract submissions: March 19, 2018. Conference organised by the doctoral student research group OVALE – part of the VALE research group, EA4085, Sorbonne University. Keynote speaker: Jonathon Green, slang lexicographer and author of Green’s Dictionary of Slang "thou claybrained guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou whoreson, obscene, greasy tallow- catch" Shakespeare, Henri IV, I (I,4) With these colourful words, Shakespeare conjures up his most accomplished comic character. A figure of garish excess in both body and language, the larger-than-life Falstaff is a unique literary creation. In him, vulgarity is not only given prime position but posterity in the world of belles-lettres. The representation of vulgarity remains nonetheless a polemical choice. Time and again, the vulgar has been suspected of a sensationalist agenda or of compromising quality. However, for a number of thinkers and literary critics, it is a legitimate attempt to capture the vitality of life through language. This only exemplifies the notional ambivalence of the term and the tension at the heart of its definition: between inclusion and exclusion, between what is common, oral, shared by all (vulgar tongue) and what is cheap, in bad taste and unrefined.

  • Criticism of “Fascist Nostalgia” in the Political Thought of the New Right
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS WRATISLAVIENSIS No 3866 Studia nad Autorytaryzmem i Totalitaryzmem 40, nr 3 Wrocław 2018 DOI: 10.19195/2300-7249.40.3.6 JOANNA SONDEL-CEDARMAS ORCID: 0000-0002-3037-9264 Uniwersytet Jagielloński Criticism of “fascist nostalgia” in the political thought of the New Right The seizure of power by the National Liberation Committee on 25th April, 1945 and the establishment of the republic on 2nd June, 1946 constituted the symbolic end to Mussolini’s dictatorship that had lasted for more than 20 years. However, it emerged relatively early that fascism was not a defi nitively closed chapter in the political and social life of Italy. As early as June of 1946, after the announcement of a presidential decree granting amnesty for crimes committed during the time of the Nazi-Fascist occupation between 1943 and 1945, the country saw a withdrawal from policies repressive towards fascists.1 Likewise, the national reconciliation policy gradually implemented in the second half of the 1940s by the government of Alcide De Gasperi, aiming at pacifying the nation and fostering the urgent re- building of the institution of the state, contributed to the emergence of ambivalent approaches towards Mussolini’s regime. On the one hand, Italy consequently tried to build its institutional and political order in clear opposition towards fascism, as exemplifi ed, among others, by a clause in the Constitution of 1947 that forbade the establishment of any form of fascist party, as well as the law passed on 20th June, 1 Conducted directly after the end of WW II, the epurazione action (purifi cation) that aimed at uprooting fascism, was discontinued on 22nd June 1946, when a decree of president Enrico De Nicola granting amnesty for crimes committed during the Nazi-Fascist occupation of Italy between 1943–1945 was implemented.

So dominant had become the demands of a journalism that catered to a flourishing middle-class public de­ termined to achieve an easy method to "culture," that the literary critic of this period, the eighties and nineties, devised an artificial tradition by which he could protect himself against the democratic so­ ciety with which he was acutely dissatisfied.

  • Pressemitteilung Zu Obituary
    Pressemitteilung zu Obituary Die amerikanischen Death Metaller Obituary präsentieren ihr neues Album „Obituary“ (Relapse) am 25.03.18 im Logo live Hamburg, November 2017 – Im Sommer 2017 gab es nur zwei Shows in Deutschland, jetzt kommen Obituary für eine komplette Tour wieder nach Deutschland. Die Death Metal-Protagonisten aus Florida haben weitere sieben Shows im März 2018 gebucht, um ihr am 16.03.17 erschienenes zehntes Top 30-Album „Obituary“ (Relapse) live vorzustellen. Das Quintett um Frontmann John Tardy tritt in Hamburg am 25.03.18 im Logo auf. Obituary aus Tampa/Florida haben mit Alben wie „Slowly We Rot“ (1989) oder „Cause Of Death“ (1990) Genre-definierende Klassiker geschaffen und zählen zu den einflussreichsten Death Metal-Bands überhaupt, ihr eigenständiger Sound ist geprägt von simplen und einprägsamen Gitarrenriffs sowie vom Gesang von John Tardy. Nach nur zwei Shows im August 2017 (Summer Breeze Festival und Dortmund) kommen die legendären Death Metaller zurück nach Deutschland, um ihr im März 2017 erschienenes zehntes Album „Obituary“ (Relapse Records) zu promoten. 1984 gründen die Brüder John (v) und Donald Tardy (dr) Xecutioner, die sich kurz vor dem Erscheinen des Debüts „Slowly We Rot“ im Jahr 1989 in Obituary umbenennen. Zusammen mit ihrem Produzenten Scott Burns erschaffen sie damit im inzwischen legendären Morrisound Studio einen Meilenstein des Death Metal, an dem sich alle Nachfolger orientieren. Obituarys Erfolg trägt maßgeblich zur Etablierung des Nischen-Genres Death Metal bei. Dabei sind sie im Laufe der Jahre mit ihrem eigenen Sound, den stetigen Tempiwechsel und dem unvergleichbaren Gesangsstil von John Tardy eine unverwechselbare Größe geworden.
