We are happy to announce two restored Romantic Circles Electronic Editions. As shown by the return of these editions, the technical editors at Romantic Circles are hard at work not only producing new publications but also bringing back previous publications as they are able. We appreciate everyone’s patience after having to rebuild the site and are striving to make everyone’s valuable past publications accessible once more.
Terry Robinson’s updated edition of Mary Robinson’s Nobody: A Comedy in Two Acts (Drury Lane, 1794) is the first to present a widely available and searchable transcript of the play along with a comprehensive introduction, extensive notes by the editor, and contexts of the drama. The open-access format and the accompanying contextual materials make this edition ideal for teaching and research.
Nicholas Mason, Paul Westover, Shannon Stimpson, Billy M. Hall, and Jarom McDonald’s updated and revised edition of William Wordsworth’s Guide to the Lakes (1810-1835) contains such resources as a fully annotated, illustrated text of the 1835 edition as well as bibliographic, cartographic, and textual tools for studying the first five editions of the Guide. For this revised edition the editorial team significantly reworked, extended, and, in some cases, corrected the earlier account of the essay’s origins, composition, and initial publication. The most significant changes to the critical apparatus appear in the introduction, which incorporates several important findings, and a new appendix offering the most detailed study to date of the serial publication of Select Views (1810). The updated edition also features high-resolution scans of Wordsworth’s 1810 letterpress.
