A Handbook of Editing Early Modern Texts 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 Handbook 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 Handbook 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 Handbook 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.
