Description
The essays in this volume challenge current 'givens' in medieval and early modern research around periodization and editorial practice. They showcase cutting-edge research practices and approaches in textual editing, and in manuscript and performance studies to produce new ways of reading and working for students and scholars.
Reviews / Votes
"The editors aim to suggest 'a new ethics of editing,' which demands a commitment to the variety of theatrical witnesses, and thus to permissive, enabling editorial forms. . Jenkins and Sanders have produced a timely and varied volume." (Emma Smith, Speculum, Vol. 92 (1), January, 2017)
