This is the second issue of an ongoing monthly series that I like to call Mikhail’s Textual Variations Digest or MTVD, for short. Here you will find links to articles published over the course of August 2022 on Textual Variations, archival links to articles I’ve written for other platforms and a recommended reading.
A Brief Schedule Update:
Please note that, due to some unforeseen complications, there may be a short break in posts on the newsletter until the second week of September.
Thanks for checking out my newsletter! If you want to learn more about alternate versions, textual revisions, or just read some interesting film and TV criticism, then sign up below!
