Why The Standard Edition Matters
- The Standard Edition formed a shared reference text so analysts worldwide could cite the same Freud passages.
- It functions like a canonical proof text despite omissions and translation choices.
Freud's Footnotes Reveal Revisions
- Freud often published his false starts and later corrected them with footnotes.
- This openness makes his corpus unusually transparent about intellectual failure and revision.
Translation Shapes Intellectual Credit
- Many translators omitted crucial footnotes, erasing other contributors from the Anglo reception.
- That loss reshapes who English readers credit for key ideas.
