The development of digital technology and its widespread availability on the personal
computer are bringing about a fundamental paradigm shift in the ways that literary
texts are created, preserved, disseminated, and studied - a revolution that many scholars
have argued is as profound as that created by Gutenberg's invention of movable type.
At the same time, a major shift in textual theory - away from the notion of a "Definitive
Edition" and toward a recognition of the integrity of discrete versions - has highlighted
the fundamental limitations of the printed book. The Literary Text in the Digital
Age addresses these developments from a wide range of perspectives. The essays discuss
topics from the history of electronic editions to problems in encoding to the relationship
between contemporary literary theory and the capabilities of digital technology. Other
articles discuss the design of hypertext electronic editions now in progress or projected,
including editions of the work of Chaucer, Thomas Hardy, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
Individually and together the contributions show how these projects will go beyond
the "electronic book" and exploit the full potential of the new medium. Finally, the
volume also includes an afterword, in which A. Walton Litz reflects on the importance
of digital technology from the perspective of one of the senior scholars in modernist
literary studies
