Editionen zu deutschsprachigen Autoren als Spiegel der Editionsgeschichte (Bausteine zur Geschichte der Edition, 2)

by Bodo Plachta (editor)

The volume assembles 21 contributions in handbook format on editing practice in connection with largely literary German-language authors. It also gives an outline of the history of electronic editing. With reference to the general history of German-language editing practice, the individual longitudinal surveys provide both guidance to the editorial landscape pertaining to the respective author and links with historical and present-day approaches to scholarly editing. Accordingly, the contributions can be regarded as building blocks for a large-scale history of editing.
