As the author of satirical campus novel The Annotated Tree Worship, it's perhaps not surprising that I take a lively interest in the subject of annotated editions of classic (or not-so-classic) texts.
I've written a number of posts on the subject already: one on which books I myself would be interested in annotating; another on the various competing annotated editions of Bram Stoker's Dracula; and yet another on The Annotated Arabian Nights, a project I would have dearly loved to undertake myself if I'd had the necessary linguistic equipment for it.
As well as that, I've put up some posts in the "Acquisitions" section of my bibliographical blog, A Gentle Madness, which provide listings of the various series of Annotated Editions I've come across to date:
- Clarkson N. Potter (17 titles: 1960-1986)
- Longman's Annotated English Poets (19 titles: 1965- )
- Landmark Ancient Histories (6 titles: 1996- )
- The Annotated Jane Austen (6 titles: 2004-2017)
- W. W. Norton (21 titles: 1999-2021)
- Harvard University's Belknap Press (23 titles: 2009-2022)
As well as these major series, there are a number of short runs and one-off titles I've encountered at various times, which I've grouped together below under "Miscellaneous".
I've arranged the books further as follows:
Why? What's the attraction of this particular sideline of literature? I suppose the initial impulse came from repeated readings of Martin Gardner's brilliant tour-de force The Annotated Alice. Alfred J. Appel's Annotated Lolita, too, made me feel as if I'd never really read Nabokov's novel before, so much of its subtext and larger implications had I apparently missed.
It took me a while to work out that there was no magic formula to the art of compiling an annotated edition. A pedestrian mind produces a dull jog-trot of a book, whereas a dazzling intellect (such as Gardner's or Appel's) can illuminate the murkiest depths of even the most apparently straightforward texts. By then, though, I was well down the road of collecting as many of them as I could find.
I don't regret the quest. It's been instructive. Even Gardner nods, to be honest. Few of his other annotated books read the heights of his Alice or his Snark (in their various revised and expanded versions). But they're always intriguing and thought-provoking.
I'm not sure that the same could be said of all the annotators listed below - some of them scarcely rise above the level of a set of hyperlinked references to Wikipedia; others are scholars as ingenious as Gardner at his best. You'll have to judge for yourselves which is which.
Oh, and one more thing: I've learned that - for me, at any rate - the best way to read an annotated edition is not to pause at every marginal note. That destroys the flow of the original text. I read straight through the equivalent of a chapter or so, and then go back and read all the notes for those pages. It may sound unwieldy, but it means that you can enjoy the book and savour the eccentricities of the annotator's peculiar mind (virtually all annotators seem to be eccentrics of one type or another: I wonder why?).
You may (or may not) find this useful advice. If you've already evolved your own system for reading these somewhat unwieldy tomes, feel free to ignore it. Just be aware that - like all the diverse ways we engage with texts - this one takes a bit of practice before it becomes second nature.
[NB: The rest of this post consists of long lists of hyperlinked texts with illustrations, so you may want to skip it if bibliographic minutiae are not really your bag.]
