This collection of essays focuses on the varied and complex roles
that editors have played in the production of literary and
scholarly texts in Canada. With contributions from a wide range of
participants who have played seminal roles as editors of Canadian
literatures - from nineteenth-century works to the contemporary
avant-garde, from canonized texts to anthologies of so-called
minority writers and the oral literatures of the First Nations -
this collection is the first of its kind. Contributors offer
incisive analyses of the cultural and publishing politics of
editorial practices that question inherited paradigms of literary
and scholarly values. They examine specific cases of editorial
production as well as theoretical considerations of editing that
interrogate such key issues as authorial intentionality, textual
authority, historical contingencies of textual production,
circumstances of publication and reception, the pedagogical uses of
edited anthologies, the instrumentality of editorial projects in
relation to canon formation and minoritized literatures, and the
role of editors as interpreters, enablers, facilitators, and
creators. Editing as Cultural Practice in Canada situates editing
in the context of the growing number of collaborative projects in
which Canadian scholars are engaged, which brings into relief not
only those aspects of editorial work that entail collaborating, as
it were, with existing texts and documents but also collaboration
as a scholarly practice that perforce involves co-editing.
