Previous editions are cited in Resources for College Libraries. When first published privately in 1907, The Education of Henry Adams contained hundreds of printer's errors and editorial inconsistencies. Although many were corrected in the first public version in 1918, the text was also modernized in ways that some believe departed significantly from the author's intentions. For this centennial edition, editors Chalfant (emeritus, English, Hofstra U.) and Wright (Massachusetts Historical Society) started over. Using four copies of the 1907 printing with marginal annotations as a basis, they drew upon Adams's other publications and his numerous contemporary letters to create a modern scholarly edition that they believe comes closer to what he intended when he wrote and annotated his most famous book. Their editorial decisions have been documented in a List of Changes. Distributed in the US by the U. of Virginia Press. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
