University of Virginia Press, 2025

The sixty-first volume of Studies in Bibliography continues its tradition of presenting a wide range of articles by international scholars on bibliography, textual criticism, and other aspects of the study of books. The volume opens with a bibliographical assessment of the contributions to the Anglo-American book world of the bookseller, scholar, collector, and writer John Carter, accompanied by a handlist of the nearly fifteen hundred items Carter is known to have published. Other major essays include John Bidwell's analysis of the claim that a recently discovered manuscript is an early copy of the Declaration of Independence, James McLaverty's study of the illustrations of Alexander Pope's Works of 1735, Barbara Heritage's detection of stages of composition in the manuscript of Charlotte Brontë's Shirley, and James L. W. West III's recovery of the authors' punctuation in the endings of novels by Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Faulkner. Distributed for the Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia
