[Hardy-l] Jude the Obscure: Page Proofs

[dale kramer]

I wonder what the relationship is between the page proofs that are up  
for auction and the page proofs with revisions in the Signet Library  
in Edinburgh? It's been at least a decade since I looked at these  
proofs, and more than that since a friend (and former graduate  
student) looked at them.

Surely it's not the case that the Signet is "getting rid of" part of  
their holdings?

Simon Gatrell, in Hardy the Creator, provides a generous discussion  
of proofs for Jude (pp. 157-64; 254-55.
