"Currently in submission"   Written by Linda Fern (2/20/2003 7:52 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, The Loiterer, penned by Linden
Are you new?

] I keep seeing mentions of `The Loiterer' in bios of JA. Is it available anywhere?

There is a Prof. Robert L. Mack at the University of Exeter who has a book 'currently in submission' on the site linked below. He says:

James Austen's The Loiterer. A fully annotated edition of the bi-weekly newsletter and review published in 1789-90 by Jane Austen’s eldest brother, James. This edition reproduces a definitive copy-text, and includes a comprehensive Bibliography, Chronology, Introduction (70 ms. pages), and Full Explanatory Notes (120 ms. pages). The edition is currently in the hands of Pickering & Chatto, Ltd., London.

In an email to a friend Prof. Mack said that he has submitted it to several places but no takers yet. I really would like to have a copy of it. The Loiterer may be satire, but I think that it would also give us a sense of the "times".

Yours, &c
Linda


Prof. Robert L. Mack
