Editionen Zu Deutschsprachigen Autoren ALS Spiegel Der Editionsgeschichte

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.
