A NOTE ON THE TEXT AND EDITORIAL POLICY
I have intentionally not included literary analyses of the works in this anthology in order to avoid, as much as possible, the appearance of trying to direct the ways they are read and interpreted. My goal has been to give an accurate introductory historical context for a collection of reliably edited and annotated primary texts, many of which have been hitherto unavailable. .......
Except where indicated, I have chosen first editions as copy-texts. Spelling (including the various spellings of proper names) and punctuation have not been modernized unless the original usage would confuse or mislead a twentieth-century reader. The eighteenth-century long "s" has been replaces throughout. Obvious errors in printing, such as dropped or inverted letters, have been silently corrected.
