Descripción

Cloth, 8vo, xii, 207 pp. Six lectures in which Professor Bowers seeks "to get behind textbook rules and to trace the nature of the grooves along which the bibliographical mind pushes towards a solution of textual problems". Among the topics considered are the evidence on which textual bibliography operates; the logical forms of its reasoning; the techniques it uses; and the results it can achieve; also discussed are the abuses in textual criticism that result from excessive conjecture and the misuse of the bibliographical method. Contents: I. Analytical and Textual Bibliography; II. The Treatment of Evidence; III. The Interpretation of Evidence: the Demonstrable and Probable; IV. The Interpretation of Evidence: the Probable; V The Interpretation of Evidence: the Possible; VI. The Copy for the Folio Othello; Index.
