This article focuses on the writer Emily Dickinson. While it is not the first time that editors have disagreed or critics have worked from manuscripts or with inadequate texts, Dickinson studies have been cast into more than usual chaos by the present situation of the manuscripts. The crux of the scholarly and critical problems raised by the unique conditions of Dickinson's manuscripts is what to make of the packets or fascicles into which she copied many of her largely unpublished poems-in short, what to make of handcrafted texts.

The article focuses on the bibliography of English poet John Ludgate. The publication of the revised article on John Lydgate in the new edition of the journal "Manual of the Writings in Middle English" provides a valuable secondary bibliography of work on Lydgate and of Lydgate's writings. Some problems remain. The vexed question of the canon is not reappraised, even though there are grounds for doubting Lydgate's authorship of a number of works that are included; indeed, some that appear are manifestly not by him. There appears to have been little or no attempt to check assertions made in the book "Index of Middle English Verse" and its supplement, with the result that misprints and other errors from these sources appear.

This article presents several queries and their explanations related to literary works. The first query explains that Alexander Graydon (1752-1818) was reputed to have sent an English version to the "Port Folio Magazine" (Philadelphia) shortly before he died. The three quatrains of the English begin, "Torn from thy nurturing branch, poor, fallen leaf," and end, "The foliage of the laurel and the rose." Another query states that Shelley's 5-volume set of the Venice 1793 edition of Dante's works was offered for sale at £50 by G. Winter.

The article comments on the book "Sylvia Plath: An Analytical Bibliograph," by Stephen Tabor, a well-known lexicographer of Great Britain. This literary piece of work is a reminder of the surprising fact that a quarter of a century after the death of Sylvia Plath, she is still the subject of heated controversy, of both her work and her life and death. The author is extremely circumspect, treading warily in the Plath mine-field. The details of texts and commentaries are commendably accurate, and he notes details, which need to be known, such as the incompleteness of the so-called collected poems.
