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 |
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.
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"/>
<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>
