In "The Book Unbound," scholars and editors examine how best to
use new technological tools and new methodologies with artefacts of
medieval literature and culture. Taking into consideration English,
French, Anglo-Norman, and Latin texts from several periods, the
contributors examine and re-evaluate traditional approaches to and
conclusions about medieval books and the cultural texts they
contain - literary, dramatic, legal, historical, and musical. The
essays range from detailed examinations of specific codices to
broader theoretical discussions on past and present editorial
practices, from the benefits and disadvantages of digital editions
versus print editions to the importance of including 'extratextual'
material such as variant texts, illustrations, intertexts, and
other information about a work's cultural contexts, history, and
use. "The Book Unbound" presents important contributions to the
discussions surrounding the editing of medieval texts, including
the use of digital technology with historical and literary
documents, while offering practical ideas on editing print and
hypertext. The collection will be invaluable to historians,
literary scholars, and editors.
