Palimpsest: Editorial Theory in the Humanities
Distinguished scholars discuss editorial theory and how it is applied across the humanities
"This is a genuinely interdisciplinary collection, with few of the faults normally associated with such endeavours, and one which suggests that editorial theory could indeed form a starting-point, rather than a later refinement, in all our general approaches to literature. Overall, this sumptuously designed volume makes a persuasive case for the inextricability of all the things we do with texts: reading, editing, interpreting, translating, annotating, contextualiziing, historicising, and so forth."
--TEXT: Transactions of The Society for Textual Scholarship, Volume 9 (1997)
