What is The Literary Text In The Digital Age (editorial Theory And Literary Criticism) about?

The Development Of Digital Technology And Its Widespread Availability On The Personal Computer Are Bringing About A Fundamental Paradigm Shift In The Ways That Literary Texts Are Created, Preserved, Disseminated, And Studied - A Revolution That Many Scholars Have Argued Is As Profound As That Created By Gutenberg's Invention Of Movable Type. At The Same Time, A Major Shift In Textual Theory - Away From The Notion Of A Definitive Edition And Toward A Recognition Of The Integrity Of Discrete Versions - Has Highlighted The Fundamental Limitations Of The Printed Book. The Literary Text In The Digital Age Addresses These Developments From A Wide Range Of Perspectives. The Essays Discuss Topics From The History Of Electronic Editions To Problems In Encoding To The Relationship Between Contemporary Literary Theory And The Capabilities Of Digital Technology. Other Articles Discuss The Design Of Hypertext Electronic Editions Now In Progress Or Projected, Including Editions Of The Work Of Chaucer, Thomas Hardy, And Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Individually And Together The Contributions Show How These Projects Will Go Beyond The Electronic Book And Exploit The Full Potential Of The New Medium. Fi
