Volumes Published and Forthcoming (A–I)
Updated May 2021
One of the main functions of the Committee on Scholarly Editions, formerly known as the Center for Editions of American Authors, has been the evaluation of scholarly editions intended for publication. After an edition is inspected by a committee representative and found to conform to professional standards, it receives a seal of approval from the committee. The seal appears in the published volume. What follows is a list of scholarly editions that have been approved by the CSE and the CEAA. The list, which may provide helpful information to scholars, instructors, students, librarians, and publishers, is updated annually.
The list is arranged alphabetically by author. The title of the edition series (if any) and the names of series editors follow the author’s name. The name of the edition publisher is then listed. Following those names is a list of published and forthcoming volumes that have been approved, with the date of publication or, in the case of forthcoming volumes, the date of approval.
If you have any questions, corrections, or new information concerning the list of approved editions, please write to the CSE staff liaison (cse@mla.org).
