Text Editing, Print and the Digital World

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Taking stock of recent trends in digital humanities and scholarly editing, Kathryn Sutherland and Marilyn Deegan give shape to an important volume of thought-provoking essays. Rather than loudly announcing paradigm shifts, the editors allow divergent voices to examine to what extent existing approaches are evolving. The result is a well-balanced book that clear-headedly assesses the present state of the discipline.' Dirk Van Hulle, University of Antwerp, Belgium 'This useful new volume offers a challenging review of the past decade's debates on digital editing, and poses an important set of questions that look back as well as forward: proposing a critical reevaluation of print-based editing, and an interrogation of the discursive and editorial affordances of digital medium. With contributors representing the cutting edge of the field, this will prove a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand digital editing in detail.' Julia Flanders, Brown University, USA 'This book on text editing should be of interest to those concerned with rare book librarianship, and archives.' Journal of Documentation, Vol 65, No 6, 2009 '...an exquisite collection of essays on textual editing and new possibilities offered by digital technologies...draws upon presentations by some of the key players in the field of Digital Humanities.' Literary and Linguistic Computing, vol 25, no 3, September 2010
