In An American Princess, Laurie Dennett relates the remarkable story of a New England woman whose wealth, intelligence, and charm took her to the heart of aristocratic and intellectual Europe. Marguerite Chapin (1880–1963) was the product of two cultures: her father’s enterprising American one and her mother’s French heritage, which enabled her to move to Paris when she inherited a fortune at age twenty-one. There, she studied singing with the greatest tenor of the age, commissioned paintings from artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, and André Derain, and drew upon her many friendships with writers to found and edit the pioneering literary review Commerce. Her marriage, in 1911, to the composer Prince Roffredo Caetani, a member of one of Italy’s oldest dynasties, added a whole new dimension to her life. Not only did it bring her a title, but happiness, two children, and a set of extraordinarily talented in-laws. When Marguerite and Roffredo moved to Italy in 1932, she found refuge from fascism and an outlet for creativity at Ninfa, the estate where the Caetani had created a garden among the ruins of a medieval town. At age sixty-eight, having survived the death of her son, the war, and the German occupation, Marguerite launched the international review Botteghe Oscure. Its aim was to reclaim respectability for Italian writing, but through her discerning and generous editorial vision, it became a showcase for writers everywhere. An engrossing biography based on extensive original research, An American Princess celebrates Marguerite Chapin Caetani’s impressive accomplishments and legacy.

Nach den Methoden und Konzepte der Edition neuerer deutschsprachiger Texte dokumentierenden Band 1 und dem die Geschichte einzelner Autorphilologien darstellenden Band 2 bietet Band 3 der vorliegenden Reihe einen weiteren "Baustein zur Geschichte der Edition" durch den Blick auf einzelne Editoren. In dieser wissenschaftsbiografischen Perspektive bildet der einzelne Gelehrte das Zentrum für jene Momente, deren Eruierung nun dazu dienen soll, neue Blicke auf das Zustandekommen einer Ausgabe, einer Editionsmethodik, eventuell gar einer Editionstheorie zu gewinnen. Das meint zum einen die biografisch-berufliche Institutionalisierung des jeweiligen Gelehrten, zum anderen dessen literaturwissenschaftliche Position (z.B. die Zugehörigkeit zu ,Schulen'), die sich gerade auch mit Bezug auf seine anderen gelehrten Tätigkeiten in ein Verhältnis zum editorischen Arbeiten setzen lässt, dann aber auch allgemeine zeitgeschichtliche Umstände oder sonstige biografische Zusammenhänge. Exemplarisch werden Editoren vom beginnenden 19. bis zum späten 20. Jahrhundert behandelt.

""This is not a simple life, my friend, and there are no simple answers." The late editor of the late Miami News, Bill Baggs, stamped these words on plain white postcards and sent them to readers who sent him hate mail-a frequent occurrence, as Baggs, a white editor of a prominent southern newspaper, championed unpopular ideas in his front-page columns, such as protecting the environment, desegregating public schools, and peace in Vietnam. Under his leadership, the Miami News earned three Pulitzer Prizes. For his stances, Baggs earned a bullet hole through his office window, police officers stationed outside his home, and a used Mercedes outfitted with a remote starter so that if it had been rigged with a bomb, it would blow up before he opened the door. Despite his causes and accomplishments, when Baggs died of pneumonia in 1969 at the age of forty-five, his story nearly died with him, and that would have been a travesty because Baggs still has so much to teach us about how to find the answers to those not-so-simple questions, like how to live in peace with one another? In this first biography of this influential editor, Amy Paige Condon retraces how an orphaned boy from rural Colquitt, Georgia, bore witness and impacted some of the twentieth century's most earth-shifting events: World War II, the civil rights movement, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War. With keen intellect and sparkling wit, Baggs seemed to be in the right place at the right time. From bombardier to reporter then accidental diplomat, Baggs used his daily column as a bully pulpit for social justice and wielded his pen like a scalpel to reveal the truth"--
