Summary

‘Editions’ focuses on posthumous editions of Goldsmith’s works. It traces the history of editions as a reflection of a gradual shift in Goldsmith’s popularity outside of university curricula. Editions in English and in translation are surveyed. A final section on academic editions begins with the pioneering work of Sir James Prior and Austin Dobson before considering the apotheosis of textual criticism on Goldsmith in the late 1960s. The chapter concludes with some reflections on the movement of editions of Goldsmith out of the home and into the university library, and out of the popular imagination and into the academy.
