Futures of Digital Scholarly Editing

Abstract

This collection brings together essays that consider not only what digital editions
have been, but also what they might become in this moment of rapid technological
and social change. Contributors offer both theory and case studies. The editors organize
the contributions into two parts. The first traces the history of textual scholarship
as a discipline, while the second considers how the practices of scholarly editing
and digital collection building intersect. Emerging from a symposium, the volume is
less a single unified argument than a deliberately plural conversation, one that places
pressure on inherited assumptions about the relationship between scholarly work
