Samuel Beckett - Digital Manuscript Project

Directed by Dirk Van Hulle and Mark Nixon. Brussels: University Press Antwerp et al., 2011. Contains the genetic editions "Stirrings Still / Soubresauts" and "Comment dire / what is the word".
"The Beckett Digital Manuscript Project [...] started from two initiatives: (1) the 'in-house' genetic edition of four works by Samuel Beckett, and (2) the Series of Variorum Editions of Samuel Beckett's Bilingual Works, initiated in 1986 by Charles Krance [... . T]hese initiatives were developed into the Beckett Digital Manuscript Archive, which combines genetic criticism with electronic scholarly editing, applied to the study of Beckett's manuscripts. The Beckett Digital Manuscript Project consists of two parts:
(a) a digital archive of Samuel Beckett's manuscripts, organized in 26 research modules. Each of these modules comprises digital facsimiles and transcriptions of all the extant manuscripts pertaining to an individual text, or in the case of shorter texts, a group of texts. (b) a series of 26 volumes, analyzing the genesis of the texts contained in the corresponding modules.
The Beckett Digital Manuscript Project aims to contribute to the study of Beckett's works in various ways: by enabling readers to discover new documents and see how the dispersed manuscripts of different holding libraries interrelate within the context of a work's genesis in its entirety; by increasing the accessibility of the manuscripts with searchable transcriptions in an updatable digital archive; by highlighting the interpretive relevance of intertextual references that can be found in the manuscripts. [... T]he project brings together digital facsimiles of documents that are now preserved in different holding libraries, and adds transcriptions of Beckett's manuscripts, tools for bilingual and genetic version comparison, a search engine, and an analysis of the textual genesis of his works."

Directed by Stephen Railton. Charlottesville (VA): University of Virginia, 1998-2009. Vom Selbstverständnis her ein digitales Archiv, das eine ganze Reihe verschiedener Materialen zusammenbringt.

The editors have collated all the lifetime editions of his publications, making it possible as never before to study the range of his work and the many revisions it underwent. The poems’ textual histories are displayed in variants, editorial footnotes and explanatory introductions. The literary and biographical contexts are discussed, as are the works' critical receptions and publication histories." [from resource]

The Letters of Robert Bloomfield and His Circle

Ed. by Tim Fulford and Lynda Pratt. A Romantic Circles Electronic Edition. College Park (MD): University of Maryland, 2009. "This present edition aims to build upon the foundation that these recent volumes have laid down, making study of Bloomfield properly possible for the first time by collecting all his extant letters plus a selection of those written to him by literary correspondents. The hope is that by presenting a properly edited and annotated Collected Letters, we, the editors, will not only foster the infant that is Bloomfield Studies, but also enable him to be a significant figure for all those studying early nineteenth-century literature and culture. Bloomfield's letters cast new light on many of the issues that concern critics and historians most about the period." [from resource]

Edited and directed by Robyn Adams. Version 5. London: Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, 2011.

This Version comprises incoming and outgoing letters written in English between Thomas Bodley and his correspondents during the years 1585-97. This edition [...] pioneers a unique transcription method. The letters have been encoded in such a way as to permit readers to custom-build their own transcripts, according to their research preferences. For instance, a general reader may wish to view the letters in their complete, non-abbreviated form, while a scholar interested in orthographic and material features of the period will want to see these reproduced in the transcripts. [...] Customisable transcripts enable the reader to engage with the text according to their own research needs. Users will be able to mediate the texts to their own specification. Citation of the transcripts takes into account the alternative elements available to view or mask. " [from resource 9/2013]

The edition will we hope continue to evolve in later iterations.

A Description of the Valley of Chamouni, in Savoy. By Samuel Glover

Ed. by Cian Duffy. A Romantic Circles Electronic Edition. College Park (MD): University of Maryland, 2018. "By the time that Samuel Glover published A Description of the Valley of Chamouni, in Savoy in 1819, the so-called ‘valley of wonders’ – site of some of the most spectacular Alpine landscapes in western Europe, and of its highest mountain, Mont Blanc – was well established as a place of great scientific importance and as a key attraction for tourists and travellers seeking the mountain sublime. Glover’s Description took its place amongst a plethora of contemporary guidebooks and personal travel narratives. [...]
This edition re-situates Glover’s Description in the context of eighteenth-century and romantic-period writing about Chamonix-Mont Blanc and details its connections to Troye’s exhibition and to Shelley’s inscriptions. It also attempts to solve what is now the mystery of who Samuel Glover might have been: hardly any information about him survives, and what few details are available are all connected with Description."

CantApp: The General Prologue. An Edition in an App.

Edited by Richard North, Barbara Bordalejo, Terry Jones and Peter Robinson. Saskatoon: Scholarly Digital Editions, 2020. "The Canterbury Tales is regarded as Chaucer’s most famous work, written between 1386 and his death in or soon after 1400. It is a collection of twenty-four stories told by twenty-three pilgrims [...] The writing of the General Prologue[...] may be taken as the moment when what might have been a loose collection of stories comes into focus as a single complex narrative. [...]
This edition is a reader’s edition: its aim is to make the text as easily accessible as possible in sense, metre and pronunciation for beginner readers of Chaucer. When required, the text has been emended to clarify sense and to present the best literary form of the Canterbury Tales. In practical terms, this means readings are not retained just because they are archetypal (as one might do in a scholarly edition), but that they might be replaced by other readings as found in other witnesses or inferred by the editor."

A Social Edition of the Devonshire MS (BL Add 17,492)

Ed. by Ray Siemens and the Devonshire MS editorial group. Victoria (BC): University of Victoria, 2012. "The social edition is a work that brings communities together to engage in conversation around a text formed and reformed through an ongoing, iterative, public editorial process. Ray Siemens has called for scholars 'to extend our understanding of the scholarly edition in light of new models of edition production that embrace social networking and its commensurate tools… [to develop] the social edition as an extension of the traditions in which it is situated and which it has the potential to inform productively'. Bringing practice to theory, we have modeled the social edition, working as a team to extend scholarly best practice and open-access methodology to collaborative technologically mediated scholarly editing in Web 2.0 environments. We have chosen to build our edition Wikibooks, alongside (and with help from) the dedicated Wikibooks community. Our goal, through community engagement via Wikibooks, twitter, blogs, and drupal-based social media space, is to use existing social media tools to change the role of the scholarly editor from the sole authority on the text to a facilitator who brings traditional and citizen scholars into collaboration through ongoing editorial conversation."

An Uninteresting Detail of a Journey to Rome by Ann Flaxman

Ed. by Marie E. McAllister. A Romantic Circles Electronic Edition. College Park (MD): University of Maryland, 2014. "Ann Flaxman's An Uninteresting Detail of a Journey to Rome tells the story of a female Grand Tour, something quite rare, and of an extended artist's visit to Italy, something quite common. In 1787 Flaxman set out for France and Italy with her husband, the sculptor John Flaxman, and a small company of fellow travellers. During her journey and in the months that followed her arrival in Rome, Flaxman kept a perceptive and entertaining journal for the benefit of friends at home, a group that included William and Catherine Blake. Personal yet nonetheless typical of its genre, Flaxman's previously unpublished Journey serves as an excellent introduction to English travel writing just before the French Revolution, and to the late-eighteenth-century international arts scene. It also reveals the challenges and rewards of being an atypically poor traveller and an aspiring woman writer." [from resource]

The project involved the digitisation of the 1926 and 1927 diaries of the late German-born Irish composer, Aloys Fleischmann (1910 – 1992). In addition to digital preservation, the aim of the Fleischmann Diaries project was to create a freely available digitisation prototype for scholars and non-practitioners, providing them with a reproducible model. The project focused on digital photography and the online publication of the digitised archive. Future expansion will consist of metadata development, which will transform the site into an enhanced scholarly resource. A supporting dissertation, documenting the technical process and establishing a theoretical basis, is published on the dissertation page of the site." [from resource]

Edited by Tanya Clement and Gaby Divay. In: Scholarly Editing. The Annual of the Association for Documentary Editing, Vol. 33, 2012. "This "complex" includes thirty-three versions of a poem with multiple titles in two languages by the Baroness Elsa von Fretytag Loringhoven (1874-1927). [...] The entire cluster can be dated to 1923/24 when the Baroness had just returned to Berlin after twelve years in the United States. About one third of the poems are in German and tend to be composed in traditional form and style. Two thirds are in English. As the edition shows, the Baroness rewrote her poems in the two different languages to incorporate adaptations or re-creations rather than straight translations.
Underlying this edition is one TEI-P5 XML file accompanied by twenty-two, full color, documentary images." [from resource]

The Model Edition Partnership: The Marcus Garvey and UNIA Papers

Ed. by Robert A. Hill. Los Angeles (CA): University of California, 1999-2003. Unter einem Paradigma des "documentary editing" sind insgesamt 12 "Mini-Editions" von hauptsächlich archivischem Material (z.B. Nachlassdokumente) entstanden. Davon bieten neun ausgezeichnete Volltexte, zwei basieren auf digitalen Abbildungen und eine enthält Volltexte und Abbildungen. Die Texte sind in SGML/XML ausgezeichnet, die Darstellung der Editionen greift teilweise auf XML/SGML-Browser (wie z.B. Dynaweb) zurück. Die einzelnen Editionen legen leicht unterschiedliche Schwerpunkte und benutzen teilweise unterschiedliche technische Lösungen. Einige haben in den letzten Jahren Erweiterungen und Relaunches erfahren und sind damit aus den "Mini-Editions" herausgewachsen.

The Diary of William Godwin

Ed. by Victoria Myers, David O'Shaughnessy and Mark Philp. Oxford: Oxford Digital Library, 2010.
"Godwin’s diary consists of 32 octavo notebooks [...] [with entries from] 6 April 1788 [...] [to] 26 March 1836. [...] The diary is a resource of immense importance to researchers of history, politics, literature, and women’s studies. It maps the radical intellectual and political life of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as well as providing extensive evidence on publishing relations, conversational coteries, artistic circles and theatrical production over the same period. One can also trace the developing relationships of one of the most important families in British literature [...] [and m]any of the most important figures in British cultural history feature in its pages.
The diary has been transcribed and encoded so that it is fully searchable. High resolution scanned images of the diary are also provided."
"The project has sought to code the diary so as to retain the richness and diversity of the information. Each element in a day’s entry has been coded so as to distinguish what Godwin read, what he wrote, whom he saw, where he saw them, in what activities or meals they shared, and where he went."

Fables: Ancient and Modern. Adapted for the Use of Chilrden by William Godwin, Esq.

Ed. by Suzanne L. Barnett and Katherine Bennett Gustafson. A Romantic Circles Electronic Edition. College Park (MD): University of Maryland, 2014. "This is the first installment of a complete critical edition of Godwin’s ten contributions to his Juvenile Library. It makes available for the first time since 1824 the first text that Godwin both authored and published under his own imprint, Fables Ancient and Modern. Adapted for the Use of Children from Three to Eight Years of Age (1805), along with a comprehensive introduction and extensive notes by the editors. While literary historians have long been aware that radical author William Godwin wrote and published children's books, these works are substantially less visible than his novels and philosophical writings. Yet, the profound cultural impact of Godwin's children's literature—especially as an expression of his social politics—necessitates their reproduction and welcomes further critical inquiry."

Instead, it takes the 'assertive edition' approach (Vogeler 2019), i.e. it tries to combine transcription with data representation. The main organisation of the edition follows the archival records preserving the documentation from the hearth tax administration (Records). These transcripts should provide in particular the information beyond the single entries of taxation, which includes names of officials involved and comments on the process of taxation."

The Cambridge Ben Jonson takes account of recently discovered works by Jonson, and offers the first complete edition of Jonson in electronic form. In addition, the Cambridge Ben Jonson is shaped by new research on the ordering and arrangement of the canon, and its editorial policy reflects revisionary thinking on Jonsonian copy-texts. [...] The Cambridge Ben Jonson will appear initially in two related formats. A six-volume print edition will present a modernized text of the complete works [...] in chronological order, with annotation at the foot of the page and full scholarly apparatus. [...] The electronic edition, to be published simultaneously as a CD-ROM or via the Internet, will feature the entire contents of the print edition along with a range of early manuscripts and print texts - including the early quartos, 1616 and 1640/1 folios and 1640 duodecimo.

"The goals of this archive are twofold: first, it is an attempt to make the manuscripts and other media containing the works of Lydgate that exist in less than twenty witnesses more accessible to scholars of the poet, students who may have only read them in print editions, and individuals interested in manuscripts as artifacts in their own right. To this end, it is intended to provide not a critical edition of these poems, but to accurately transcribe and record the variations in the witnesses – changes in the language, omissions, and insertions – that are obscured sometimes by the traditional editorial process.
Second, this archive is meant to bridge a gap between the digital world, where anything that cannot be concretely categorized is often left by the wayside, and the physical object with its rich set of significations. Rather than the standard structure of a TEI document, an alternative TEI schema privileging the manuscript page as an object and its appearance has been used throughout. Additionally, where necessary other metadata standards have been incorporated into the description as well. In this way, the hope is that the physical object is described and displayed in a way that preserves the connections made by the physical object itself while also holding to common and accepted metadata standards."

The Newton Project

Ed. by Rob Iliffe and Scott Mandelbrote. Falmer: University of Sussex, 1998-. "Our aim is to make it possible, for the first time in history, to grasp the organic unity of Newton's writing by garnering all his astonishingly diverse productions into a single, freely accessible electronic edition. [...] This is not simply a matter of automated electronic reproduction. Newton's texts have been painstakingly transcribed from their original handwritten versions and electronically encoded in a form that allows users to view all the additions, deletions and other revisions that went into the creation of each document. Alternatively, the texts can be viewed in 'normalised' versions that are easier to read and closer to a traditional edition. [...] We are also providing digitised images of the original manuscripts, to enable users to verify the accuracy of our transcriptions for themselves. The result is a completely new type of edition, in which the editorial process is far more transparent than the medium of print permits." [from resource]

The extensive editorial matter also discusses the perception of the Norse Middle Ages, as these were shaped by sometimes fanciful antiquarian and romanticizing discourses in the period. The electronic edition is a unique resource that makes it easy to compare and search for the characters, themes and ideas that were central to the Norse revival in English letters." [from resource]

In their original form they are virtually unusable, with the names of individuals listed in no systematic order.

The Papers of Eliza Lucas Pinckney and Harriott Pinckney Horry

Edited by Constance B. Schulz. Charlottesville (VA): University of Virginia Press, 2012; ISBN 9780813932514. "The papers of Eliza Lucas Pinckney (1722–1793) and her daughter Harriott Pinckney Horry (1748–1830) document the lives of two observant and articulate founding-era women who were members of one of South Carolina’s leading families. Their letters, diaries, and other documents span nearly a century (1739–1830) and provide a window on politics, social events, and people of the late colonial and early national periods. They richly detail the daily life of maintaining family ties and managing households and plantations. Pinckney’s correspondence illustrates the importance of women’s social connections and transatlantic friendships. Horry’s correspondence documents the strength of personal ties that linked the elite families of the North and the South to each other even as connections were threatened by disputes over slavery, commercial differences, and political and constitutional conflict."

Written while he was awaiting execution for forgery in his Newgate prison cell, the poem is unique among prison writings and in the history of English literature: none of the many reflections, stories, essays, ballads, and broadside "Confessions" originating—or purporting to have originated—in a jail cell over the last few hundred years can begin to match it in length, in the irony of its author's notoriety, or in the completeness of its erasure from history after a meteoric career in print that began to wane only at the turn of the nineteenth century."

(older version of a sub-project)Unter einem Paradigma des "documentary editing" sind insgesamt 12 "Mini-Editions" von hauptsächlich archivischem Material (z.B. Nachlassdokumente) entstanden. Davon bieten neun ausgezeichnete Volltexte, zwei basieren auf digitalen Abbildungen und eine enthält Volltexte und Abbildungen. Die Texte sind in SGML/XML ausgezeichnet, die Darstellung der Editionen greift teilweise auf XML/SGML-Browser (wie z.B. Dynaweb) zurück. Die einzelnen Editionen legen leicht unterschiedliche Schwerpunkte und benutzen teilweise unterschiedliche technische Lösungen. Einige haben in den letzten Jahren Erweiterungen und Relaunches erfahren und sind damit aus den "Mini-Editions" herausgewachsen.

The 1916 Diary of Dorothy Stopford Price

Directed by Susan Schreibman. Dublin: Trinity College, 2014. "This diary is a fascinating snapshot into a pivotal moment in Irish history. The author of the diary, Dorothy Stopford Price, a 26 year old medical student at Trinity College Dublin, did not seem to be a regular diarist. Rather, the tumultuous events of Easter Week impelled her to record what was happening around her.
Her diary provides a unique insight into how the 1916 Easter Rising was viewed from the perspective of a highly educated Protestant woman: a woman who happened to be staying as a house guest of Sir Matthew Nathan, the Under-Secretary to Ireland, at his home in the Under Secretary’s Lodge in the Phoenix Park, now Áras an Uachtaráin, the home of the President of Ireland."

Verse Miscellanies Online - Printed Poetry Collections of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

Directed by Michelle O’Callaghan. Reading: University of Reading, 2011ff. "Verse Miscellanies Online is a searchable critical edition of seven printed verse miscellanies published in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. [...] This edition was produced in partnership with EEBO-TCP, who provided the XML-TEI files, which have been enhanced through the addition of explanatory annotations, and critical apparatus, including glossaries of mythological and historical figures, musical settings, and indexes of authors and first lines.The format of this edition allows for the exploration of these texts in ways made possible by the digital medium. Users are able to search for and identify poems according to author attribution, form, or rhyme scheme, and to navigate through the multiple links between the miscellanies and the poems they contain. These tools help to demonstrate the ways in which individual collections engage with one another through sharing poems, poetical forms, topoi and themes. Context for understanding how these books were composed, published and read and who was involved in their production is also provided on this site. [...] Overall, the edition is designed to allow the modern reader to keep the intertextuality and malleability of early modern poetical culture always in view." [from resource]

[Walt Whitman:] Crossing Brookly Ferry

Created by Jesse Merandy. Mickel Street Review 19/20 (2008) "In many ways, Whitman’s ability to bond with his reader is what makes 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry' one of his most enduring and often anthologized works: it is a connection that opens a window into the mind of the poet; a portal that transports us back to his life and times; and an invitation to stop for a moment and look again at the world around us from a different perspective, one that makes visible the interconnectedness of all humans and our environment across time and space.
This online critical edition looks to build on the importance of these connections and present users with a chance to view 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry' from new vistas. It is an opportunity to interact, to play, and discover what can be learned about Whitman and his work through interactive, media-rich approaches. In the end, whether you need a guide for your first voyage or are returning and seek the companionship of an old Comrade, this site hopes to provide something for all whitmaniacs on their passage across the river.
The following are offered in this critical edition: Close Reading (Click on links to criticism, commentary, and multimedia resources [...]), Edition Evolution (Track the changes Whitman made to 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry' over his lifetime), Edition Comparisons (View versions of 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry' side-by-side), Walking with Whitman (Brooklyn audio walking tour tracks Walt's footsteps), Resources (Reading list and online sources utilized in the creation of The Crossing Brooklyn Ferry Online Critical Edition)" [from resource] [for historiographic purposes]

From Goslar to Grasmere. William Wordsworth: Electronic Manuscripts

Jeff Cowton (Curator), Sally Bushell and Richard Light. Lancaster: Lancaster University, 2008. "From Goslar to Grasmere is a collaborative project between Lancaster University and The Wordsworth Trust. It involves manuscript materials for two Wordsworth texts (early Prelude material and Home at Grasmere) which are both about the importance of place to the writing of poetry – either in escaping from a hostile environment through writing poetry that draws on memories of place, or in celebrating a final home-coming to the Lakes. [...] The website is designed to have three levels of access: as a specialist; as an ordinary user; for educational use. Understanding the nature of the creative process is something of interest to all of us. In relation to children, in particular, the accessible presentation of the way in which a poem is written and re-written, will help them in developing their own writing. The primary objective of the project is to explore imaginative ways of presenting manuscript materials in hypertext and by means of TEI and to create an accessible way of understanding those materials for a wide audience."

William Wordsworth's Guide to the Lakes

Ed. by Nicholas Mason, Shannon Stimpson and Paul Westover. A Romantic Circles Electronic Edition. College Park (MD): University of Maryland, 2015. "First published in 1810 and repeatedly revised by its author over the ensuing twenty-five years, William Wordsworth’s Guide to the Lakes has long been considered a crucial text for scholars of Romantic-era aesthetics, ecology, travel writing, and tourism. Though the fifth edition of 1835 (the last revised by Wordsworth) has remained available in reprints and scholarly editions, earlier editions of the Guide continue to be scarce. [...] The present edition, then, aims to give scholars, students, and general readers easy and open access to key editions of the Guide from Wordsworth’s lifetime, including full scans of Wilkinson’s 1810 sketches and Wordsworth’s texts of 1810 and 1835."
