Abstract

By the late 1980s the concept of the work had slipped out of sight, consigned to its last refuge in the library catalogue as concepts of discourse and text took its place. Scholarly editors, who depended on it, found no grounding in literary theory for their practice. But fundamental ideas do not go away, and the work is proving to be one of them. New interest in the activity of the reader in the work has broadened the concept, extending it historically and sweeping away its once-supposed aesthetic objecthood. Concurrently, the advent of digital scholarly editions is recasting the editorial endeavour. The Work and The Reader in Literary Studies tests its argument against a range of book-historically inflected case-studies from Hamlet editions to Romantic poetry archives to the writing practices of Joseph Conrad and D. H. Lawrence. It newly justifies the practice of close reading in the digital age.

Abstract

A Handbook of Editing Early Modern Texts provides a series of answers written by more than forty editors of diverse texts addressing the 'how-to's' of completing an excellent scholarly edition. The Handbook is primarily a practical guide rather than a theoretical forum; it airs common problems and offers a number of solutions to help a range of interested readers, from the lone editor of an unedited document, through to the established academic planning a team-enterprise, multi-volume re-editing of a canonical author. Explicitly, this Handbook does not aim to produce a linear treatise telling its readers how they 'should' edit. Instead, it provides them with a thematically ordered collection of insights drawn from the practical experiences of a symposium of editors. Many implicit areas of consensus on good practice in editing are recorded here, but there are also areas of legitimate disagreement to be charted. The Handbook draws together a diverse range of first person narratives detailing the approaches taken by different editors, with their accompanying rationales, and evaluations of the benefits and problems of their chosen methods. The collection's aim is to help readers to read modern editions more sensitively, and to make better-informed decisions in their own editorial projects.

Abstract

In den letzten Jahren erfährt der Wert des ,Dokuments‘ als Überlieferungsträger für eine Edition in der philologischen und kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschung einen grundlegenden Wandel. So wird es nicht länger als reiner Textträger wahrgenommen, sondern wird u.a. hinsichtlich seiner Materialität Teil des zu edierenden Gegenstands. Doch wie werden Editionen diesem Paradigmenwechsel gerecht? Wie wird die Überführung des Dokuments in die Edition realisiert? Wann kann überhaupt von einem Dokument gesprochen werden? Diesen Fragen nähert sich der vorliegende Sammelband als Produkt der Tagung ,(un)documented – Was bleibt vom Dokument in der Edition?‘ des GRK 2196 ,Dokument – Text – Edition‘ aus multidisziplinärer Perspektive an.Inhaltlich wird neben der theoretischen Annäherung an eine fächerübergreifende Terminologie der Umgang mit unterschiedlichsten Dokumenttypen und die Berücksichtigung dokumentspezifischer Phänomene in der Edition im analogen und digitalen Medium diskutiert. Dabei werden Inschriften, Handschriften, Drucke und auch Tonträger besprochen.Somit ist der vorliegende Band für ein breites philologisches und kulturwissenschaftliches Fachpublikum mit theoretischem und praktischem editorischen Interesse relevant. The document and its role in the publication process was examined from an interdisciplinary perspective at the Fellowship Conference (Un)documented – What remains of the document in the publication? presented by the Graduate College “Document – Text – Edition” (Wuppertal). Paper topics include critical consideration of the special philological problems presented by the document, as well as the transfer of documents in digital presentations.

Abstract

"This volume offers a comprehensive study of all the known manuscripts and incunables of two works: the history of Alexander the Great written by Quintus Curtius Rufus, probably in the first century AD, and the translation into Latin by Lucius Septimius of the spoof history of the Trojan War, allegedly written at the time of that war by a certain Dictys Cretensis. Drawing on in excess of 200 witnesses, the analysis reveals how the text of Curtius in all our extant manuscripts descends from one damaged copy that survived from the Roman Empire into the Middle Ages, and how the text of Dictys survived in two such copies. It demonstrates that clear and decisive results can be achieved by application of the so-called stemmatic method, and how the application of those results will lead to several improvements to our standard text of Dictys. As well as determining which manuscripts future editors should use in editing these texts and examining them in detail, it also offers equally full discussion of those which will not be needed, establishing many localizations and derivations. The result is a large body of material that will help deepen our knowledge of the transmission of classical Latin texts, especially in the Renaissance, as well as our knowledge of scribal practice and of techniques that can be deployed in the genealogical study of manuscripts and incunables"--

Abstract

In History of the Pauline Corpus in Texts, Transmissions, and Trajectories , Chris S. Stevens examines the Greek manuscripts of the Pauline texts from P46 to Claromontanus. Previous research is often hindered by the lack of a systematic analysis and an indelicate linguistic methodology. This book offers an entirely new analysis of the early life of the Pauline corpus. Departing from traditional approaches, this text-critical work is the first to use Systemic Functional Linguistics, which enables both the comparison and ranking of textual differences across multiple manuscripts. Furthermore, the analysis is synchronically oriented, so it is non-evaluative. The results indicate a highly uniform textual transmission during the early centuries. The systematic analysis challenges previous research regarding text types, Christological scribal alterations, and textual trajectories.

Abstract

This volume pays homage to manuscripts and early printed books as material witnesses in the middle ages. The essays discuss broad questions relating to the partisan interpretation of texts, but they also illustrate how small details of format, script, and decoration, uncover the text, its context and reception. --

Abstract

The media in which Gower's works were first transmitted, whether in print of manuscript form, are of vital importance to an understanding of both the poet and his audience. However, in comparison with those of his contemporary Chaucer, they have been relatively little studied. This volume represents a major collaboration between specialist scholars in manuscript and book history, and experts in Gower more generally, breaking new ground in approaching Gower through first-hand study of his publications in manuscript and print. Its chapters consider such matters as manuscript and book illumination, provenance, variant texts and editions, scribes, and printers, looking at how, and to what degree, the materiality of the vellum, paper, ink and binding illuminates - and even implicates - the poet and his poetry.
