The Early Career of William Carlos Williams: A Critical Facsimile Edition of Uncollected Prose and Manuscripts

The Early Career of William Carlos Williams is the Thirtieth Anniversary Special Number of The William Carlos Williams Review (30.1-2, Spring-Fall 2013), which White has designed, Guest Edited, and executed. The Edition consists of a 8,000 word Introduction, a critical facsimile edition of Williams’s uncollected prose and previously-unknown manuscripts, a detailed Notes on Sources section, and six essays by eminent and emerging Williams scholars and archivists which shed new light on the under-explored literary-historical contexts that shaped this early work. Intervening in both modernist and textual studies, this Edition argues that the heterogeneity and marginal status of William’s early prose embodies the intricate, often problematic designs of literary modernism.
