Scholarly Editing: A Guide to Research
(Written by acknowledged experts in literary studies, this...)
Written by acknowledged experts in literary studies, this collection of twenty-five essays surveys the history of scholarly editing, describes the major research in a variety of disciplines, summarizes the resources available to scholars, and analyzes the issues currently facing textual editions.The book begins with a survey of scholarly editing, following by four essays on the long tradition of editing the Bible and Greek and Latin classics. The next cluster of essays proceeds through the major periods of British and American literature, from medieval to modern, further subdividing the Renaissance and the nineteenth century by genre and including a chapter devoted to Shakespeare. Additional essays cover other European literatures: French (Old French and early modern), Italian, medieval Spanish, German, and Russian. The concluding essays discuss representative non-European literatures - Arabic and Sanskrit - and the "nonliterary" editing of folk literature in various languages. Each chapter includes a history of scholarly editing in the field, a citation of exemplary editions, and an introduction to a recommended list of further readings.This collection will be of considerable interest to both those who are new to scholarly editing and those who have experience editing texts in one period or literature and would like to learn about the practices in other fields.

The Pleasures of Contamination: Evidence, Text, and Voice in Textual Studies (Textual Cultures: Theory and Praxis)
( Through the concept of contamination, David Greetham hi...)
Through the concept of contamination, David Greetham highlights various ways that one text may invade another, carrying with it a residue of potential meaning. While the focus of this study is on written works, the scope ranges widely over music, politics, art, science, philosophy, religion, and social studies. Greetham argues that this sort of contamination is not only ubiquitous in contemporary culture, but may also be a necessary and beneficial circumstance. Tracing contamination from the Middle Ages onward, he takes up issues such as the placement of quote marks in Keats's "Ode to a Grecian Urn," the controversy over the use of evidence for "yellowcake" uranium in Niger, and the reconstitution of reality on YouTube, to illustrate that the basic questions of evidence, fact, and voice have always been slippery concepts.

Theories of the Text
(Theories of the Text is the first comprehensive account o...)
Theories of the Text is the first comprehensive account of the changing practice of bibliography, textual criticism, and scholarly editing in the light of the diverse currents of contemporary critical theory. It offers both a much-needed introduction to the history of textual debate and a timely account of the current hotly contested debates over such issues as authorial intention, textual organicism, the socialization of the text, and intertextuality. Despite the positivist tradition of textual scholarship, D. C. Greetham argues, such work is a hermeneutic activity taking place within certain (usually unacknowledged) social and cultural conceptual constraints.

Literature, anthropology, sociology, gender studies, history, political science, linguistics, psychology, philosophy."
In his later work, Greetham has moved away from the idea that an editor can establish a "psychic" connection with the author through which he or she can determine the author"s true intentions, instead seeing editing as an occasion for reflections on the ideology underlying scholarly practice.
