[ ] |
Square brackets indicate material inserted by editors |
|
< > |
Angle brackets denote an irregularity in the manuscript. The absence of a note indicates that the irregularity is caused by a seal tear, hole, or physical deterioration and that the information within the brackets is a conjectural reconstruction |
|
<…> |
Angle brackets enclosing ellipsis show an actual omission caused by a defect or physical irregularity in the manuscript. Except in the case of text lost through seal tears, holes, etc., the nature of the irregularity is indicated by a note. This symbol appears on a line by itself if lost text exceeds half a line |
|
<★★★> |
Angle brackets enclosing triple stars indicate the lack of a beginning or end of a letter |
|
| | |
Vertical bars are used before and after a word which, though not physically obliterated, is a word of uncertain transcription |
|
… |
Ellipses indicate omissions from quoted material in notes and supporting documents, but in the actual texts of the Brownings’ correspondence they merely reproduce the writers’ style of punctuation |
