Jorge Luis Borges “Elementos de preceptiva” proofs
Scope and Contents
Early proofs for Jorge Luis Borges’ essay “Elementos de preceptiva,” which was first published in Sur Year III, No. 7, April 1933 and later reprinted in several collections of Borges’ work. In the essay, Borges analyzes four passages in verse, including a close reading of a line from Paradise Lost, “El estudio de la venganza, el odio inmortal,” and a stanza from e.e. cummings. In the section in which he examines cummings, the proofs contain Borges’ handwritten notes that insert two lines that do not appear in the final published version of the essay: “beso, que es un acto, después de jaula y de collar, que son casas.”
