Abstract : Printing and publishing have historically played an important role in standardising the English language, but we are usually unaware of the numerous changes made to a manuscript before it reaches the bookshop. Indeed, most readers
probably do not even notice the name of the editor and would be surprised, even taken aback, to discover that a novelis more of a collaborative effort than first assumed.
