On 30 January 2014, the Committee on Scholarly Editions (CSE) awarded the CSE seal to The Complete Letters of Henry James, 1878 –1880, volume 1, edited by Greg W. Zacharias and Pierre A. Walker. The volume will be published by the University of Nebraska Press.
The CSE serves as a clearinghouse for information about scholarly editing and editorial projects, offers advice and consultation to editors on request, honors excellence in editing by awarding emblems to qualified volumes, and promotes dissemination of reliable texts for classroom use and among general readers. Editors or publishers who wish to submit their editions (preferably before or at the copyediting stage) for consideration for the CSE seal should contact the committee at cse@mla.org.
I completely agree with Eugene Green. This resolution is indeed “an insult to history and to the intellectual commitment of the MLA”.
