Textual Studies
The
Centre for Textual Studies within Æß²ÊÖ±²¥’s
Institute of English is devoted to scholarly research in the fields of textual studies and history of the book, and to the emerging technologies that support them. These fields include bibliographies, textual criticism, scholarly editing, genetic criticism, adaptation studies, the sociology of bibliography and texts, book history and periodical studies. We encourage research that draws on advanced electronic technologies for research and presentation. The CTS's expertise runs from medieval manuscripts through the early printed book period into the steam press and hot-metal periods and ends with the latest digital editions.
