By the late 1980s the concept of the work had slipped out of sight,
consigned to its last refuge in the library catalogue as concepts
of discourse and text took its place. Scholarly editors, who
depended on it, found no grounding in literary theory for their
practice. But fundamental ideas do not go away, and the work is
proving to be one of them. New interest in the activity of the
reader in the work has broadened the concept, extending it
historically and sweeping away its once-supposed aesthetic
objecthood. Concurrently, the advent of digital scholarly editions
is recasting the editorial endeavour. The Work and The Reader in
Literary Studies tests its argument against a range of
book-historically inflected case-studies from Hamlet editions to
Romantic poetry archives to the writing practices of Joseph Conrad
and D. H. Lawrence. It newly justifies the practice of close
reading in the digital age.
