“I have really been fortunate, incredibly privileged, to have done so much editorial work, and I would love to do more. But just as my editions have tried to balance the familiar with the new, the commercial with the scholarly, so too I have to admit that I don't want to do editing for the sake of it, and some possible projects would be of uncertain value to me.” WantDoneWould BeValuesBalanceProjectsSakeFamiliarFortunateUncertainEditingPrivilegedEditorialsScholarly Author:Oliver Harris
