However unusual it may seem today, the copyholder’s property right in a ‘thoughtful abridgment’ of another’s text was commonly protected by law. This chapter examines the abridging activities of John Wesley, and of a variety of other actors in such areas as law and history, medicine and science, philosophy and theology, biography and fiction. Publishing ‘epitomes’ of proven sellers posed less financial risk than publishing new titles. Considering the extracts and abridgements that characterized so much of eighteenth-century newspapers and periodicals helps us understand how such practices were a routine part of the circulation and consumption of print. Abridgments of provincial publishers can be particularly instructive, as these are commonly adjusted in length and format to suit the productive capacity of the local printer and/or the buying power of consumers in the local market.","PeriodicalId":424306,"journal":{"name":"Textual Transformations","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126624960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, both these features are editorial constructions which conceal aspects of the text’s revolutionary energy and smooth over its syntactical rough edges. The beginnings of this process may be viewed in the manuscript annotations of Hutchinson’s nephew, the text’s early custodian, whose response to the growing tide of anti-regicide literature was to conceal his aunt’s republican writings from public view. The main responsibility for reshaping Hutchinson’s prose and injecting a Whiggish flavour into the text was Julius Hutchinson the younger, the text’s first editor. His work formed the basis of all nineteenth-century editions, but eventually led to a bifurcation in Hutchinson scholarship between those who emphasized the text’s feminine literary qualities, and those who questioned its authority as a historical record.","PeriodicalId":424306,"journal":{"name":"Textual Transformations","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130200340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
