On Second Thought: Updating the Eighteenth-century TextDebra Taylor Bourdeau, Elizabeth Kraft University of Delaware Press, 2007 - 301 страници Every ending marks a potential beginning; every act of reading is, in a very real sense an act of re-writing; and to revise is, literally, to re-see. These bits of conventional wisdom underlie the topic explored in this volume's collection of essays by literary critics who want to know more about the instinct to continue and the impulse to revise an existing text. |

Страница 69 - Smooth to the shelving brink a copious flood Rolls fair, and placid ; where collected all, In one impetuous torrent, down the steep It thundering shoots, and shakes thecountry round.
Страница 168 - Heaven thought not worthy to be numbered among the living, or to appear among the rest of his creatures ; that to have seen one of my own species, would have seemed to me a raising me from death to life, and the greatest blessing that Heaven itself, next to the supreme blessing of salvation, could bestow; I say, that I should now tremble at the very apprehensions of seeing a man, and was ready to sink into the ground, at but the shadow, or silent appearance, of a man's having set his foot on the...
