Excerpt from Collection From the Prose and Poetical Writings of Mary L. Gardiner IN committing a volume of some hundred pages to the press, it may not, without reason, he expected that the reader should be favored with some account of the author's labors, and of the reasons which may have induced the publication of the present work. Indeed, the explanation seems the more appropriate, at a period when productions of a similar character have become not only common, but, probably in the opinion of the great mass of readers, quite too frequent, to be useful. So considerable a volume filled with pieces mostly poetical, and upon subjects, many of which have scarcely the recommendation of novelty, may seem to demand some apology for its intrusion upon the public in these prosaic times. The author of this miscellaneous collection, (many parts of which have appeared in different publications, ) is, but to a small extent, known to fame, and possesses no inordinate ambition for distinction as a writer, beyond the limits of her native island. Feeling, as she does, her own inferiority, in comparison with a host of others whom it would be easy to mention, it may be easily supposed, that it is not without much hesitation and solicitude, that she submits her literary labors to the judgment of an impartial community. The writer is as sensible as the most fastidious of her readers can be, of the many imperfections which exist in these compositions, and that others, which she knows not of, will be discovered, thereby exposing her performances (and justly too) to the severity of criticism. She is equally well assured that the privileges of her sex guaranties no exemption from an ordeal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Proofs of Genius: Collected Editions from the American Revolution to the Digital Age is the first extensive study of the collected edition as an editorial genre within American literary history. Unlike editions of an author’s “selected works” or thematic anthologies, which clearly indicate the presence of non-authorial editorial intervention, collected editions have typically been arranged to imply an unmediated documentary completeness. By design, the collected edition obscures its own role in shaping the cultural reception of the author. In Proofs of Genius, Amanda Gailey argues that decisions to re-edit major authorial corpora are acts of canon-formation in miniature that indicate more foundational shifts in the way a culture views its literature and itself. By combining a theoretically-informed approach with a broad historical view of collected editions from the late eighteenth century to the present (including the rise of digital editions), Gailey fills a gap in the textual scholarship of the editing history of major figures like Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman and of the American literary canon itself.
