As technologies for electronic texts develop into ever more
sophisticated engines for capturing different kinds of information,
radical changes are underway in the way we write, transmit and read
texts. In this thought-provoking work, Peter Shillingsburg
considers the potentials and pitfalls, the enhancements and
distortions, the achievements and inadequacies of electronic
editions of literary texts. In tracing historical changes in the
processes of composition, revision, production, distribution and
reception, Shillingsburg reveals what is involved in the task of
transferring texts from print to electronic media. He explores the
potentials, some yet untapped, for electronic representations of
printed works in ways that will make the electronic representation
both more accurate and more rich than was ever possible with
printed forms. However, he also keeps in mind the possible loss of
the book as a material object and the negative consequences of
technology.
