About The Book
Description
Author
<p><em>A Handbook of Editing Early Modern Texts</em> provides a series of answers written by more than forty editors of diverse texts addressing the 'how-to's' of completing an excellent scholarly edition. The <em>Handbook</em> is primarily a practical guide rather than a theoretical forum; it airs common problems and offers a number of solutions to help a range of interested readers from the lone editor of an unedited document through to the established academic planning a team-enterprise multi-volume re-editing of a canonical author. Explicitly this <em>Handbook</em> does not aim to produce a linear treatise telling its readers how they 'should' edit. Instead it provides them with a thematically ordered collection of insights drawn from the practical experiences of a symposium of editors. Many implicit areas of consensus on good practice in editing are recorded here but there are also areas of legitimate disagreement to be charted. The <em>Handbook</em> draws together a diverse range of first person narratives detailing the approaches taken by different editors with their accompanying rationales and evaluations of the benefits and problems of their chosen methods. The collection's aim is to help readers to read modern editions more sensitively and to make better-informed decisions in their own editorial projects.</p>
