- W2322938348 abstract "Ai7HEN, as teachers of modern American literature, we use paperbacks in the classroom, we seldom pay much attention to the possibility of omissions and variant readings from the first edition. Such concerns are reserved for scholars of earlier periods. The textual critic examines the various editions of Shakespeare's plays or of Donne's poems. He compares the Daisy Miller of the New York edition with the original version of that novella. But when he comes to the contemporary American novel, he often overlooks the significant changes that may have arisen between the book's first printing and its publication as a paperback. Just such an important alteration occurred in The Confessions of Nat Turner. The first edition, and all subsequent clothbound editions, contained a crucial emblem affixed to the page preceding the Author's Note. That emblem was formed by the intersecting first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, alpha and omega, one of the New Testament's most important ways of designating Christ.' Styron concludes his novel with a pas'sage from St. John's Revelation that makes this connection explicit:" @default.
