ENGL2605 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Emily Dickinson
Document Summary
Lecture 12 types and token in publication. First lecture of second module: textual, editorial and bibliographic theory. Example of editing or publication: emily dickenson"s i"m nobody. If you were given the photographic facsimile of the original manuscript of i"m nobody by. These would only both be included for the sake of analysis: dickenson"s came from a place where her poetry needed to reflect her personal idiosyncrasy. Hence his uniform version of the poem which removes all de- capitalisation, spaces, punctuation and paragraphs. How all ancient greek manuscripts appear: when dickenson was writing this, it was being established that homer himself was a. "nobody: there is also the opinion, later, that the odyssey was written by a woman, an autobiographical account given in the character of calypso - because the epic is more domestic focused than the iliad. No, because most manuscripts don"t survive and we are perfectly happy to read later tokens of the text.
