• W6397673 abstract "Millar's 1762 Works is the first general collection of Fielding's writings, adorned with the life (by Arthur Murphy) and the frontispiece portrait (by William Hogarth) that betoken an eighteenth-century classic. No other English novelist of the period received comparable distinction before the 1796 Miscellaneous works of Smollett, edited by Robert Anderson. The textual importance of Millar's edition, however, is slight; its appearance, especially in the royal-paper quarto, is repellent; and most Fielding scholars scornfully reject the judgments of Murphy's life, and even question the likeness of the Hogarth portrait, which, exasperatingly, seems to be the only one we have of the author. Perhaps because of these defects, perhaps because it is textually not a Substantive edition', the history and bibliography of the Works and its descendants remain yet unat tempted. Quarto, octavo, and duodecimo editions were published by the purchasers of Millar's copyrights and their successors from 1771 to 1821, or at least (for conditions of publication have changed) they were obtainable from their warehouses throughout this period. Shares in Fielding's Works continued to be traded after 1821, and some of the partners published a duodecimo edition in 1824 with a shorter life adapted from Murphy; but the story after 1821 is one of disintegration. The next edition of the Works, by Thomas Roscoe (1840), is a cheap one-volume reprint, with the plays relegated to the end of the volume. 1821, then, marks an important point in the history of the canon and the booksellers who controlled it. Despairing of a better term, I have rather too solemnly dubbed this editorial and publishing complex a 'recension'; just as, to adduce a more hallowed usage, Homer's text is said to exist in a 'Pisistratan recension', being not only the canon and form of the text that the tyrant Peisistratos is said to have authorized, but also the various longlost manuscripts that transmitted it to the Alexandrian editors who produced the recension we know today (or at least may hope to recover). Alternatively, one might have referred to Murphy's 'edition' of the Works; but besides misapplying an established bibliographical term, this begs the question that principally concerns me here: who was ultimately responsible for the formation of the collection, the editor or the publisher? Millar issued his Works around 20 April 1762, in two formats simultaneously: in four volumes quarto bound and gilt, at five guineas; and" @default.
