摘要：When it came time to design the sixth and final volume of the Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, I realized that I knew nothing at all about how editors handled the deaths of their principal subjects and concluded their editions. I had never been on an editorial team at the subject's moment of death; moreover, I had not encountered talks or essays by colleagues about editing death. With two deaths upcoming in the volume, I needed models for the end of life in editions of a person's papers. e whole sta. set out to survey the field. Quite unexpectedly, a query about death opened windows onto editorial styles. In their handling of death, editors can only create an ending from finite and disparate compilations of sources. But through their varied designs, as we read the work, editors manifested decisions about the arts of narrative, claims about the significance of their subject's life, and emotions about ending a long partnership and collaboration. is is an attempt to start the conversation we once needed.
