ENGL 401 - Textual Scholarship

3 Credit(s)

This advanced experiential-learning course investigates how literary texts have come to be and how they have been and ought to be transmitted. The primary goal of the course is for students to learn the principles behind the editions of literary texts that we read by putting them into practice. Students work closely with an instructor on a project that involves editing, producing, and/or remediating literary texts in print or in electronic form and thus gain experience working with literature and its transmission in academic publishing and digital humanities. The course may be repeated for free-elective credit. This course is required for the Textual Scholarship Certificate.
