About this ebook

Scholarly Editing and German Literature: Revision, Revaluation, Edition offers international perspectives on the process, products and impacts of a commonly overlooked aspect of literary scholarship – scholarly editing contributions range from medieval to contemporary, correspondence to poetry, their forms from reports on works in progress to theoretical considerations.

Bodo Plachta's observation that schools of scholarly editing in North America and Europe share a common origin and a basic set of common premises opens the volume and serves as an introduction to the five thematic groups: Material and Extralinguistic Elements and the Construction of Meaning, The Process of Editing and Editing Process, Edition and Commentary, Editing and Similar Second-Order Processes and Textual Creation, Edition and Canon(ization).

Contributors: Peter Baltes, Kenneth Fockele, Nikolas Immer, Lydia Jones, Melanie Kage, Monika Lemmel, Claudia Liebrand, Ulrike Leuschner, Elizabeth Nijdam, Nina Nowakowski, Rüdiger Nutt-Kofoth, Gaby Pailer, Bodo Plachta, Jeremy Redlich, Annika Rockenberger, Catherine Karen Roy, Per Röcken, Johannes Traulsen, and Thomas Wortmann.
