Abstract

The logical and pragmatic outcome of social theories of editing, as has been suggested, is editions that take into account the materiality of the text to such a degree that they can exist only immaterially, in the electronic realm. This paper explores a juncture, one at which the accumulation of textual archival materials associated with social theories of editing meet their natural home in the electronic scholarly edition, and one at which large collections of materials in electronic form meet their equivalent in the world of the ever-growing body of scholarschip, available in electronic form, that is associated with the primary materials that lie at the heart of the textual scholar's concerns. With the electronic medium embraced editorially, the next major concern to be addressed by those interested in the edition, especially those exemplary textual scholars who have invested significant effort accumulating digital archival material, is the proper navigation of that material.
