Additional text

The scrupulous painstakingness with which Burrow has gone about his textual task and the equally scrupulous honesty with which he draws our attention to the limits of what can be done by way of reconstruction still constitute find models for textual scholarship. And text is not all - the introduction, notes, and excursuses of this edition are informative across a much wider range
