The essays collected in this volume present multiple facets of how texts are read, exchanged and understood in the contemporary digital climate. As technological advances bring into being new book practices and open a wide range of previously unexplored textual itineraries, it is imperative that scholars adopt fresh critical tools to engage with these developments and the polymorphous works that result from them. These essays contribute to this perpetual questioning, readjusting, redefining and reconfiguring of such key notions as author, writer, text, book, production, editing, printing, publishing and reading. They take part in ongoing efforts to trace the contours of a broad and amorphous field of studies that is coming into being at the confluence of digital technologies, the humanities, textual scholarship and book history.
Book Practices & Textual Itineraries is a series of peer-reviewed book-length publications devoted to the study of book history and textual scholarship. It traces evolutions in the production, transmission and reception of books and texts over time and across cultural and disciplinary boundaries. It likewise examines new practices that are developing in response to the acceleration of textual production and exchange provoked by electronic media, and considers their significance for the editing and interpretation of literary works. Published at Université de Lorraine with an international editorial advisory board, the series aims to facilitate dialogue on book history and textual scholarship between scholars from France, Europe and the English-speaking world.
