Having tried to order a copy of the Manzoni translation from
Littlehampton Book Services, I was told that the special offer of
£3.00 from Dent only applies to David Forgacs himself. If David
would like to order extra copies for those of us interested, this
would circumvent the situation. David?

I have received a letter from Dent saying they have 105 remaindered copies
of the hardback of The Betrothed (published in 1997) which I co-edited with
Matthew Reynolds. These are for sale at a price of 3 pounds per copy (10 per
cent of the original price). This is considerably cheaper than the Everyman
paperback of the same edition at 14.99 which will remain in print, and even
than the cheaper Everyman paperback (7.99) of this edition which has not yet
been published.
For IS mailbase members who are not familiar with this edition, it is 710
pages long, contains a completely revised version of Archibald Colquhoun's
1951 translation, a revised version of the complete text of History of the
Column of Infamy in Kenelm Foster's 1964 translation (long out of print),
detailed notes, maps and a 30-page anthology of criticism on Manzoni, as
well an an introduction, chronological chart on M's life and times, synopsis
of the plot and note on the texts.
Postage within the UK is 2 pounds for up to 10 copies, 5 pounds for 11-50
copies, 10 pounds for over 50. For overseas postage you need to contact LBS
(see below) for a quotation based on order. Orders can be charged to credit
card.
I do not have any remaindered copies of the text myself so if you want to
order please DO NOT request them from me but from:
