One book TBA: Either a gothic novel or a Smollett, to be decided at organizational meeting, for late in term.

All these editions are more or less optional—if you have another version, it doesn’t much matter except in three cases marked by asterisks above:

*Moll Flanders is longish, with no chapter divisions, and if we don’t have the same edition, we’ll have trouble finding the same spot in the text. The Penguin is no better than any other, but I happen to have my notes in a Penguin so….

**Pamela was revised extensively throughout Richardson’s lifetime. In my opinion, the revisions tend to wreck his original idea, so I prefer to assign a paperback like the Tom Keymer edition for Oxford based on the first (1740) edition of Pamela. There are other paperbacks like the Kimpel/Eaves version for Riverside that use the first edition. The Doody edition for Penguin boasts that it uses the 1801 edition, which incorporates all Richardson’s lifetime revisions. The Norton edition is a mystery—I think it uses a mid-Victorian edition.

***The Mel New version of Tristram Shandy is the first to use all the improvements of the Florida edition of Sterne which New masterminded.
