A Representative Listing of Australian
and New Zealand
Critical Editions (Listed Alphabetically by Editor)
Kym McCauley and Paul Eggert
Please note: This is a working paper, not a refereed publication of the University College, ADFA.
We have sighted the critical editions listed. We wish to reiterate that
the listing here is representative, not complete: we were looking for examples
of critical editions which would demonstrate the range of activity carried
out by New Zealand and Australian scholars. The editors are listed alphabetically,
followed by the author's name and bibliographic details. We have made no
attempt here to provide a full list of each editor's work.
Of the editions sighted we began to detect a difference between the higher
number of editions of literary works which met our criteria as against
those of historical documents. While we were unable to draw any firm conclusions,
we suggest that the time is ripe for a more ambitious overview to be taken.
Such an enquiry would, of course, be more fruitful if a larger listing
enabling a fuller comparison of the fields were generally available.
The representative listing below may stimulate interest in the achievements
of Australian and New Zealand critical editors over the last twenty-five
years and should, we believe, give the Society considerable cause for satisfaction
that this area of bibliographical interest has been so healthy in both
countries.
The meaning of the term 'critical edition' used in this listing is discussed
in the preceding essay. It is a more inclusive meaning than the term traditionally
carries and equates to what has been loosely known as 'scholarly editing'.
Editors need to have been based in New Zealand or Australia, or to have
been born in either country.
To facilitate the listing the editor's name is listed first followed by
the author and bibliographic details of each work included.
