From Wharton to McClure's to Appleton to Macmillan: Journey of "Summer" from Manuscript to Print

Comparative Chart by Category: Capitalization, Italicization, and Pluralization

     This section includes three lists that illustrate the variations in capitalization, italicization, and pluralization in the First American Edition (FAE) and in the First British Edition (FBE) of Summer. This section does not include data from the Manuscript (MSS) and the McClure’s Magazine Edition of Summer (MME). However, while skimming through some of the chapters in the MSS and in the MME, I noticed some inconsistencies regarding capitalization. For example, in Chapter 1, the MSS and the MME uses both capital “M” and small “m” for “the mountain.” However, both the FAE and the FBE use capital “M” throughout the novel, except two instances where the FAE uses small “m” for “the mountain.” In comparison to the MSS, the MME, and the FAE, the FBE seems more consistent with the use of capitalization. For a detailed discussion on some of the variations in capitalization across the editions and their impact on the novel, see Literary Analysis section of this book.
