The Small Bachelor (variorum edition) (PDF, 1,365 KB)
This is the second project of its kind that I've completed. The presentation to Leave It to Psmith should serve for this new one too.
In a way this was both simpler and harder than LItP. It is true that this novel didn't undergo the major changes that made it neccessary to resort to parallel texts. At the same time, the number of minor differences between main versions is much larger, and so is the count of changes introduced by later British editions. This results in an apparatus of 840+ entries vs. 500+ in LItP.
Speaking of LItP, I recently made some corrections and enhancements, and replaced the published PDF file.
I hope to finish at least one more of these editions before the end of the year. At present, Tales of St. Austin's and The Little Warrior are the main candidates, as most of the preliminary work is already done.
