Editing and Textual Scholarship

Editing and Textual Scholarship is a research group working on the production, dissemination, and reception of literature, and how to re-present the texts from the past for new readers in the present.

We are interested in all modes of scholarly and literary editing at the intersection of the creative and the critical, as well as forms of ‘material’ investigation: literary archives, genetic scholarship, book history, the history of reading, and literary heritage.

Our research crosses all genres in the period from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. Our work aligns with the School of Social and Humanities’ research theme Hidden Voices, Contested Pasts.
