Scholarship

Charles Gildon Scholarship Available in the Public Domain

There is very little scholarship devoted to Charles Gildon and his works, and what does exist is mostly the form of doctoral dissertations and a master's thesis. Nevertheless, these works make valuable contributions to our understanding of Gildon the writer, his works, and his critical opinions. The aim of including these works here, in this digital edition, is to both preserve scholarship that otherwise exists only in a single typewritten copy in university holdings and to make them more widely accessible.

The works included here are in the public domain. The copyright on Dottin's monograph has expired, and the other works were published as dissertations and theses (available for interlibrary loan and listed in Dissertation Abstracts International) without copyright before the United States copyright reform of 1978.
