Chadwyck-Healey Editorial Statement: Nineteenth-Century
Fiction contains 250
complete works of prose fiction by 109 authors from the period
1781-1901. Each text is reproduced in full, including all prefatory
matter and annotation by the original author. Bibliographic details
are included from each of the editions used along with illustrations
where available. The principles guiding the choice of editions are as
follows: 1) In general, the first editions to be published in volume
form have been adopted. 2) Prior magazine serialisations and
corrected second editions have occasionally been preferred. 3) Later
lifetime editions have been used in a few cases where extensive
authorial revision has made them the standard versions. Texts of
Frankenstein and The Well-Beloved are given twice in
different states, to represent the wide variations between different
editions. 4) In all cases in which serialisations of a work preceded
publication in volume form, details of the vehicle and dates of first
publication are given.
