strong textThis module will aim to help students achieve 1. A sophisticated understanding of the concepts and textual discussion of how texts can and should be edited, and of the conditions in which the texts were produced. 2. An informed critical understanding of selected authors and anonymous works and how editorial editions affect the experience of reading a text. 3. A sophisticated understanding of differing editorial approaches to the set texts, including issues of authorship and textual transmission.

This module will explore the complex inter-relationships between texts and the editorial methods which lead to the production of editions. It will expose students to issues pertaining to textual transmission and authorship from the medieval to the contemporary period and difficulties posed by factors such as anonymity or translation and adaptation, among other. The students will have the opportunity to study the methods employed in the editing of scholarly journals, and of texts from the medieval to the contemporary period, including elements relating to the history of publishing in these periods, with a view to better understanding the influence of the editorial process on the history of textual reception. Manuscript as well as print history will be related to the shaping of the canon of literature, and students will be encouraged to learn about as well as view critically norms practiced and adopted by editors across time.
