Text Comparison and Digital Creativity - The Production of Presence and Meaning in Digital Text Scholarship

Combining both case studies and theoretical reflections, this book offers a varied range of assessments about digital conditions of philological inquiry. The book details instruments and processes of digital text criticism along with reflection on the increasingly unstable reconstructions of authorship and presence in e-philology.
