History of Editing the Early Manuscripts
	The history of editing Ruskin’s early writing divides into two periods—that undertaken in the late 1840s by his father, John James Ruskin, and his “first editor,” W. H. Harrison; and that undertaken in the 1890s by Ruskin’s secretary, W. G. Collingwood, and his publisher, George Allen. The audience for the earlier project was essentially limited to family and close friends, while the later project was more public and involved in a broader social phenomenon, spread over a longer time. The second period culminated in Poems (1891), edited by Collingwood, and the first two volumes of the Library Edition (190?), but this stage of interest in the early Ruskin started as early as the late 1870s and developed through interrelated projects in collecting of modern authors, including their juvenilia; bibliography of modern authors, including their juvenilia; and modern author societies and the interest in juvenilia.
