Hi everyone (with apologies to Katie Couric),
I'm hoping someone can help me learn something about the printing of
the 1598 version of Astrophel and Stella. Ringler asserts that the
1598 Arcadia edition of Astrophel and Stella was set from a manuscript
"probably supplied by the countess of Pembroke." Does Ringler mean
that the editors (or compositors) of '98 didn't use Q1 or Q2 at all in
setting the '98 version of Astrophel and Stella? Has anyone other than
Ringler considered the question whether the '98 editors used Q1/Q2 in
setting the '98 A&S (and could you point me toward the criticism if
it's out there and I've missed it)?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Joel
