Two Volumes Awarded CSE Seal

On 10 April 2012, the Committee on Scholarly Editions (CSE) awarded the CSE seal to two volumes: Joseph Conrad’s Under Western Eyes, edited by Roger Osborne and Paul Eggert, with an introduction by Keith Carabine and explanatory notes by Carabine and Jeremy Hawthorn (Cambridge University Press), and James Fenimore Cooper’s The Autobiography of a Pocket Handkerchief, edited by Matthew Wynn Sivils and James P. Elliott (AMS Press).

The CSE serves as a clearinghouse for information about scholarly editing and editorial projects, offers advice and consultation to editors on request, honors excellence in editing by awarding emblems to qualified volumes, and promotes dissemination of reliable texts for classroom use and among general readers. Editors or publishers who wish to submit their editions (preferably before or at the copyediting stage) for consideration for the CSE seal should contact the committee at cse@mla.org.
