Seven original essays on the theory, practice and future of editing
Old English verse. Questions of the theory, practice and future of
editing Old English verse have become increasingly pressing in the
light of new research and technology, and this volume of seven
original substantial essays explores a number of important
editorial issues. The collection investigates the implications of
current concerns in textual editing relating to the presentation of
Old English verse, among them materialist criticism and approaches
to the culture of thebook in the early middle ages; revisionist
readings of the canons and heritage of nineteenth-century
philology; and the electronic future of editing Old English.
Particular topics addressed include the ethics of editing and its
responsibility to both poet and reader; the neglected verses of the
Paris Psalter; the editorial problems presented by the mixed form
of AElfric's rhythmical prose; and the difficulties of the printed
page. The final essay in the volume explores the capabilities of
the electronic hypertext to reinvent the whole process of editing
and editions. KATHERINE O'BRIEN O'KEEFFE is Professor of English
and Fellow of the Medieval Institute, University of Notre Dame; Dr
SARAH LARRATT KEEFER teaches in the Department of English at Trent
University. Contributors: EDWARD B. IRVING, JR, SARAH LARRATT
