About this text

James A. Herne († 1901): public-domain work. The text is that of la transcription établie par Erostrate sur le fac-similé d'Internet Archive (Margaret Fleming, by James A. Herne, in Representative American Plays, ed. Arthur Hobson Quinn, fifth edition, New York, The Century Co., 1930). Erostrate has not changed a single word: only the layout and the division into pages are ours.

Note on the edition (in French): Texte reconstitué et révisé par Katharine Corcoran Herne (le manuscrit de 1890 a brûlé en 1909), publié pour la première fois dans cette anthologie ; sans l'introduction de l'éditeur. Texte établi en collationnant deux lectures du scan, divergences relues sur l'image.
