Editing

Vol. 2 of The Complete Prose won the 2015 Book Prize for for an edition, anthology, or essay collection, awarded by the Modernist Studies Assocation. The prize committee wrote:

“A monumental work of scholarly editing, the long overdue Collected Prose of T. S. Eliot is sure to be widely used, appreciated, and admired. Volume II finds Eliot in his most prolific and indispensible years as a critic. . . .While the entire edition, projected to eight volumes, constitutes a major achievement and an indispensible archive, Volume II is certain to be the one most used by scholars, most central to ongoing studies and re-evaluations of Eliot and the history of modernist criticism. Clear and easily grasped editorial principles and superb content notes speak to the dedication, diligence, and sound sense of the editorial team.”

In January 2023, Cuda collaborated with Project Muse as managing editor of the redesigned digital edition of the eight-volume The Complete Prose, which introduced a host of new technological features, including fully searchable xml text, paginated to match the downloadable PDFs and existing print edition. The new edition also features new browsing and accessibility functions, granular search faceting, and full-size indexed images.

The work of 9 co-editors under the direction of Ronald Schuchard, this monumental eight-volume edition of modern literature brings together, for the first time in print, all of the vastly influential prose writings of Nobel laureate T. S. Eliot. This collection provides access to over 6,000 pages of Eliot’s nonfiction prose writings. It includes all of the essays that he collected in his lifetime, but also more than 1,000 uncollected, unrecorded, or unpublished items, many of which were missing or inaccessible for decades.
