Biography, Autobiography and Pseudobiography in the Long Eighteenth Century

A paper copy of the Manley book has been placed at the reserve desk–this edition (Broadview) has an immense amount of introductory and supplementary material to help you navigate the book.

It’s not ideal–there are a lot of page numbers stuck into the text, but it will do if you do not have the Broadview edition of the text.

Hi–It seems that although the GC owns a copy of the Manley book, they have not yet placed it on reserve because it’s out on loan and they didn’t realize that this library owns it.  Grrr!

 However!  I will place my personal copy on reserve before Monday–and it is available on Eighteenth Century Collections online….and available at the main branch of the NYPL…I will post when my personal copy has been placed at the library.  But if you are hoping to read it over the weekend, I would recommend Eighteenth Century Collections online or the NYPL (although there’s a possibility that I may deposit my personal copy at the reserve desk as early as tomorrow afternoon-Saturday).
