Cite Bullough’s Narrative and Dramatic Sources

Rationale

Geoffrey Bullough’s eight-volume Narrative and Dramatic Sources of Shakespeare is useful to LEMDO editors in various ways. For those editing lesser-known plays that happen to be sources or analogues for Shakespeare (e.g., Famous Victories in the QME anthology, The Device of the Pageant in the MoMS anthology, Bullough’s transcription of your play might well offer readings that you want to collate. Editors of Shakespeare will want to cite Bullough in any discussion of sources. For ISE legacy editions, Bullough is often the copytext for a supplementary text.
Because of the importance of Bullough as a textual witness and a critical compilation, LEMDO has proleptically added entries to the sitewide bibliography for the complete eight-volume work and for each individual volume.
We do not want to add an entry to the sitewide bibliography for every source and analogue in Bullough. We have retained about four legacy Bullough sources that had already been cited by QME editions; these entries are exceptions and should not be taken as precedent-setting.

Practice: Edition Bibliography

Make a <bibl> entry in your edition bibliography for each volume of Bullough from which you cite. Add the @corresp attribute and the correct value from the following table:
Volume xml:id
Volume I BULL1
Volume II BULL2
Volume III BULL3
Volume IV BULL4
Volume V BULL5
Volume VI BULL6
Volume VII BULL7
Volume VIII BULL8
8-volume set BULL11

Examples

<!-- Editor of Twelfth Night includes Volume VIII -->
<bibl corresp="bibl:BULL8"/>
<!-- Editor cites the 8-volume set. -->
<bibl corresp="bibl:BULL11"/>

Practice: Parenthetical Citations

In your parenthetical citation (normally in critical paratexts and annotations), give Bullough’s surname. Give the volume number followed by a colon, then the page number.

Examples

<note type="commentary"> Hall’s detail is gleaned from John Rastell’s 1529 <title level="m">The Pastime of People or the Chronicles of Divers Realms</title> (<ref type="bibl" target="bibl:BULL3">Bullough 3:225</ref>). </note>

Practice: Collation

If you are taking one of Bullough’s sources or analogues as a witness, you will need to add the volume to your witness list. Create a <witness> for Bullough, with a logical xml:id for the witness (i.e., a value ending in _bullough. Use the @corresp attribute to associate your witness with the correct Bullough volume.
If you want to say more about the witness than is already provided in the BIBL1.xml entry, you may provide an alternative citation in the text node of the <witness> element. Omit the @corresp attribute. Our processor will display the contents of your text node.

Examples

<!-- A witness that inherits the bibliographical information already in BIBL1 -->
<witness xml:id="emdDEVI3_M_collation_bullough" n="Bullough" corresp="bibl:BULL3"/>
<!-- A witness that provides more information than is available in BIBL1 --> <witness xml:id="emdFV_M_collation_Bullough" n="Bullough">Text of <title level="m">The Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth</title> in <ref type="bibl" target="bibl:BULL4">Bullough Volume IV</ref>.</witness>

Practice: Responsibility Statements

If you want to give credit to Bullough as a person in a <respStmt> element (i.e., as a transcriber, translator, or compiler), Bullough’s xml:id in PERS1is "BULL12".

Example

<respStmt>
  <resp ref="resp:trl">Translator</resp>
  <name ref="pers:BULL12">Geoffey Bullough</name>
</respStmt>
