\A CLAMOUR TOO LOUD TO BE DISTINCT\: WILLIAM WARBURTON'S LITERARY SQUABBLES
2005
Overview
[...]popular responses to his edition are almost gleeful in seizing upon the bumptiousness of its tone and procedure. \"8 While it would show folly and hubris worthy of Warburton himself to argue that the edition is consistently full of brilliant insights and valuable emendations, it deserves more notice than it usually gets, though for different reasons. Because of Warburton's sweeping tone (and his often unnecessary conjectures, which seem an excuse for the coining of a peculiar neologism), the edition became so immersed in controversy as to obscure its original intentions. [...]Warburton's stated idea of illustrating a solid and fixed language through such a linguistically divergent author was as doomed to failure as its correspondent reliance on neologisms to show, paradoxically, a linguistic tradition. The Oxford Editor changes demurely to din early\" (VII, 919; Antony and Cleopatra, 4.7.37). [...]without more ado, the Oxford Editor alters the text to fervently.
