- Additional information
- This is the second of two volumes making up the first scholarly edition of Andrew Lang’s writings. Warwick was largely responsible for selecting the material in the second volume, which demonstrates Lang's central and underacknowledged place in late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century intellectual culture. Each volume was prepared using the first published version of each work included in the edition, many of which were out of print or available only in the original, non-digitised periodicals. For volume 2, Warwick was sole author of the substantial annotations (endnotes), explaining allusions, providing biographical and contextual references, following up Lang’s citations to provide a detailed sense of his intellectual milieux and providing translations and cross-references. The primary research contribution of the volume also includes the introduction to volume 2 (15,000 words), of which Warwick was sole author, which gives for the first time a comprehensive and critical sense of Lang’s place in and contribution to late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century literary culture, including his important relationships with Henry James, Robert Louis Stevenson, H. Rider Haggard, and others, and his work for Longman’s Magazine. The volume and introduction also map Lang’s contributions to debates around the establishing of English as an academic discipline and discussions of an emergent mass culture following the Education Acts of the 1870s.
