The editors here list the texts (with designated abbreviations) to
which essays published in The Faulkner Journal will refer; we ask
contributors to use these texts when submitting essays in order to save
time and effort after acceptance. We consider these texts the best now
available, and will update the list regularly as newly edited texts
appear. Since the original texts of These 13 and Doctor Martino are not
generally available, the texts in Collected Stories are acceptable. For
a useful, if now somewhat outdated, general discussion of textual
problems in Faulkner, see James B. Meriwether, "The Books of
William Faulkner: A Revised Guide for Students and Scholars,"
Mississippi Quarterly, vol. 35, 1982, pp. 265-81. See also the
"Notes on the Text" sections of the various Library of America
volumes of Faulkner novels and the introductions to the individual
volumes of William Faulkner Manuscripts (44 vols. Garland, 1985).
