How good is the Barnes & Noble Classics Series as compared to other publishers' editions?
Has anyone read any reviews on these editions? Anything recently published by a big bloodsucking corporation like Barnes & Noble makes me wary. (Of course, one could argue that most big publishers today, like most big corporations, are bloodsucking.) In any case, how much do you trust their text? Does it seem reliable? How would you rate it compared to other classic editions (e.g., Penguin)?
The text is not the issue. Granted, you are not getting a Norton edition, that is plum full of quality academic essays, and intros.
These editions are simply published very cheaply, because the texts are all "public domain" copyright. This means that Barnes and Noble, or anyone for that matter, can freely re-publish these texts, because the copyright is expired. In short, they don't have to pay royalties! These are cash cows for a company like Barnes and Noble!
Copyrights usually expire 70 years after the authors death. However, books written before 1923 do not fall under the umbrella because of previous copyright law from 1909, that stipulated that published works went instantly in public domain unless specified.
This is a very interesting topic to do research on!
