Subject: Inquiry for Humanist Discussion Group


Dear Fellow Humanists;

As a relatively new member of this discussion group, I am concerned
that this question may have been exhaustively treated previously --
if so, please direct me to the appropriate source of information.

I am a doctoral student, engaged in thesis research on the text of
Shakespeare's early plays. In reading the introductory materials to
Humanist, I was intrigued by the existence of a BBS devoted entirely to
_Finnegan's Wake_, and naturally I began to wonder about similar
electronic resources for scholars of Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama,
Textual Criticism, or Scholarly Editing.

Is anyone aware of e-mail discussion groups, on-line databases,
BBS's, etc. which would be useful to those who share my interests?
(Besides the more general "Humanist", "English", "Reed-l", and "Editor",
of course.)

Many thanks in advance for any information you might have.

Subject: SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING IN THE HUMANITIES

I would like to get some information on scholarly publishing in the
humanities in the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries, outside of the
university presses (largely, I think a 20th century phenomenon). What made me
curious is that we don't in this country seem to have presses like Methuen in
England, like Klincksieck in France, or Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht in Germany,
just to mention a representative sample. In the 19th century many classical
scholars published with textbook publishers like Ginn, and so their work was
hardly known abroad.
Does anyone know of books/articles discussing scholarly publishing in the
US?
