The Miscellany series was an attempt to make some of the more important material from the Newsletters available again but in a revised and consolidated form where appropriate.
Miscellany 9 takes a detailed look at the Classics for the first time. Whilst a couple of the articles appeared in earlier Newsletters, the majority of the text was written for this publication. As Russell Edwards explains in his ‘Introduction’ Penguin Classics ‘are among the most remarkable of Allen Lane's many remarkable achievements’. Lane's doggedness combined with the ‘energy and scholarship’ of E V Rieu have together created this distinguished series.
In addition to the ‘Introduction’ the contents include:
- ‘Founding Father: E V Rieu’ by Bryan Platt
- ‘Nursing Mother: Betty Radice’ bu Bryan Platt
- ‘Classic Design’ by Bryan Platt and others
- ‘Classics Checklist’
- ‘The Faith of a Translator’ by E V Rieu
- ‘On Some Dead Penguins’ by Andrew Dalby
- ‘Circular Letters’ by Steve Hare
- ‘The Art of Translation’ by Andrew Dalby
- ‘The Penguin Classics’ Blurb
- ‘Envoi: Folly Speaks’ by Betty Radice
