- This edition is a longer-form work, analysing a large body of material, including some primary sources which are difficult to access. The entire volume is over 360,000 words (excluding the bibliography). Of these, Shrank took primary responsibility for circa 29,700 words of edited text, and 171,960 words of editorial apparatus (e.g. headnotes, annotations). A further 18,400 words were jointly authored. The project involved detailed textual analysis, consulting material in a range of archives (including manuscript material), and meticulous, repeated checks to ensure the accuracy of the text and the information given in notes.
