George Calderon: Edwardian Genius has now been out for just over five months. I started ‘proofreading’ the book the moment I received it from Clays on 4 June 2018; it’s been ‘hoovered’ many times since. Now seems the right moment to present the typos and mistakes that have been spotted, as well as the small additions that I would make if there were a second edition (which would almost certainly be an Amazon paperback).
Just to remind readers: this is a limited fine hardback edition (we have already shifted 40% of the stock) and I sincerely hope each copy will accrue in value as the decades pass! To round off your unique copy, then, I would suggest printing out the lists below and pasting them inside the back cover.
There are lessons of typography, formatting and design that we have learned since 4 June, and these will be incorporated in a future edition, not enumerated here. The Errata below deal with errors of fact, the Corrigenda with typos, the Addenda with new input. Not altogether surprisingly, because it was read by so many people in typescript, the text itself contains few Errs and Corrs. Most Errs, Corrs and Adds occur in the Bibliography and Index, which were compiled and checked only by the weary author himself…

SOME RESPONSES TO GEORGE CALDERON: EDWARDIAN GENIUS
‘The book is written with great assurance and the reader always feels in safe hands. I liked the idea of it being a story and I read it the same way I would read a novel.’ Harvey Pitcher, writer
‘It is a masterly synthesis of your own approach with scholarship and very judicious discussion of the evidence.’ Emeritus Professor Catherine Andreyev, historian
‘A monumental scholarly masterpiece that gives real insight into how the Edwardians viewed the world.’ Arch Tait, Translator of Natalya Rzhevskaya’s Memoirs of a Wartime Interpreter
‘This comprehensive, meticulously researched and highly readable biography, which the author describes as a “story” rather than an academic biography…’ Michael Pursglove, East-West Review
‘It is bound to remain the definitive account.’ Laurence Senelick, Fletcher Professor of Drama, Tufts University
