Abstract

I remember being introduced to a senior scholar at a summer Huntington Library lawn party a generation ago and his inquiring politely, “Well, what’s your angle?” Stephen Dedalus’s inner panic to “say something” flashed to Steelyard the Lawgiver’s Island in the Moon reassurance that “every person has a something” as I fumbled to come up with a dissertation abstract. Those more than thirty years past rise again in contemplating the analogous age differences between the two sets of contributors to this Romantic Circles electronic collection, which presents the efforts of four “younger Blake editors and scholars” and three “established” ones. The latter, Mary Lynn Johnson, W. H. Stevenson, and David Fuller, are doubtless familiar to subscribers of this journal for their three different “successful print editions” of “texts designed to appeal to first-time readers of Blake,” while the former, Rachel Lee, J. Alexandra McGhee, and co-editors Wayne C. Ripley and Justin Van Kleeck, “have all worked as project assistants to the Blake Archive and received their graduate training from its editors” (introduction, par. 4; Johnson, par. 2). With the concise print elders accounting for less than a third of the volume (in my printout, anyway, and not counting the errata sheet for Johnson and Grant’s second edition, for which there is no editorially supplied print option), and the organizers’ point taken that “Stevenson, Johnson, and Fuller all see their editions being used in connection with the Blake Archive” (introduction, par. 7), the juxtaposition carries the sense of staged generational baton-passing to celebrate the expanding empire of the Blake Archive.

我记得上一代人在亨廷顿图书馆(Huntington Library)的夏季草坪派对上被介绍给一位资深学者,他礼貌地问道:“那么,你的观点是什么?”斯蒂芬·迪达勒斯(Stephen Dedalus)内心想“说点什么”的恐慌闪现在《月球上的立法者岛》(Steelyard)的脑海中,让我确信,“每个人都有一些东西”,而我则在摸索着写一篇论文摘要。这些三十多年前的事情再次引起了人们对这两组作者之间类似的年龄差异的思考,这两组作者是《浪漫圈》电子文集的作者,它展示了四位“年轻的布莱克编辑和学者”以及三位“成熟的”作者的努力。后者,玛丽·林恩·约翰逊,w·h·史蒂文森和大卫·富勒,无疑是本刊订订者所熟悉的,因为他们“为吸引布莱克的首次读者而设计的文本”的三个不同的“成功印刷版”,而前者,雷切尔·李,j·亚历山德拉·麦吉,以及共同编辑韦恩·c·里普利和贾斯汀·范·克莱克,“都曾担任布莱克档案馆的项目助理,并从其编辑那里接受了研究生培训”(介绍,第4页;简明的印刷版本占全书的不到三分之一(无论如何,在我的打印输出中,不包括约翰逊和格兰特第二版的勘误表,因为没有编辑提供的印刷选项),组织者的观点是“史蒂文森,约翰逊和富勒都看到他们的版本与布莱克档案有关”(介绍,第7页),这种并置带有一种代代相传的感觉,以庆祝布莱克档案馆帝国的扩张。

期刊介绍: Blake/An Illustrated Quarterly was born as the Blake Newsletter on a mimeograph machine at the University of California, Berkeley in 1967. Edited by Morton D. Paley, the first issue ran to nine pages, was available for a yearly subscription rate of two dollars for four issues, and included the fateful words, "As far as editorial policy is concerned, I think the Newsletter should be just that—not an incipient journal." The production office of the Newsletter relocated to the University of New Mexico when Morris Eaves became co-editor in 1970, and then moved with him in 1986 to its present home at the University of Rochester.
