HONORS SEMINAR (Presenting the Past) | Vaughan | TTh 1:30-3:20 | 13338 |
This course will feature the move from medieval, pre-Gutenbergian manuscript (hand-written) texts to their presentation in our contemporary, post-Gutenbergian technologies (facsimiles and digital editions). Our attention will focus on a few medieval English works and their material survivals; on the editorial principles affecting scholarly decisions about what form an individual text takes, or should take; and the challenges and opportunities offered by modern technologies of textual representation.
