One thing that stuck out to me in curating the various editions of Goblin Market was the dearth of paratextual info in earlier editions compared with editions from the mid-20th century onwards. I assume this reflects the material conditions of the Victorian period and early 20th century - either the technical or economic limitations preventing the inclusion of more comprehensive info regarding the date of publication, location of publication, etc. It made me wonder when exactly thorough paratext to open a book was commonplace in publishing. With respect to the particular edition I curated (the 1994 Gramery Books reprint of Florence Harrison's illustrated collection of Rossetti's poems), I found the context of its publication interesting - that it was published in the heyday of a renewed shcolarly interest in Rossetti's poetry and the illustrations which accompanied it, and that it provided an opportuntiy to collect/study such work in print at a time when original pressings of Harrison's illustrated collections were quite rare. I had never considered the relationship between the ebbs and flows of scholarly interest in a writer/artist and the prevalence of his or her work in the publishing industry. I now suppose that repressings of other older works perhaps follow this causal chain.
