Correction

Correction The last two paragraphs of guest editor Steven Olsen-Smith’s introduction to our special issue Melville’s Reading and Marginalia (Leviathan 10.3:6) were inadvertently dropped in production. We regret the omission and print the paragraphs here: Concluding the essay portion of this special issue of Leviathan is “Melville’s Marginalia in Christopher Marlowe’s Dramatic Works and Selections from Charles Lamb’s Specimens of English Dramatic Poets,” edited and introduced by Steven Olsen-Smith and Dennis C. Marnon with Christopher Ohge and Nathan Spann. Use of these two books is made possible by the former owner of Marlowe’s Dramatic Works, Ms. Gertrude Schlachter, by the present owner of Lamb’s Specimens, Mr. Clifford Ross, and by Houghton Library. Affording scholars new insights about Melville’s reading and artistry, the new evidence will make the known record of Melville’s marginalia to Elizabethan drama fully available to scholarship once a complete edition of Melville’s extensive marginalia in Specimens (now in progress) appears at Melville’s Marginalia Online. The selections reproduced here illuminate rhetorical strategies and thematic preoccupations underlying the ambitious artistic agenda announced by Melville in “Hawthorne and His Mosses” and pursued in Moby-Dick. A spirit of cooperation and admiration for Melville’s works among institutions, private owners and scholars has made this special issue possible. In addition to Ms. Schlachter, Mr. Ross and Houghton Library, New York Society Library staff members Mark Bartlett, Arevig Caprielian, Laura O’Keefe, and Patrick Rayner provided valuable support. In addition to other acknowledgments made in the essays that follow, the guest editor wishes to express special thanks to John Bryant for the enterprising spirit he showed in aligning this publication with other projects in Melville’s studies, and for his editorial feedback on its contents. ...
