Digital Variants

I’ll be doing some work with Domenico Fiormonte on his (and University of Edinburgh’s) project Digital Variants, a “contemporary authors digital archive.” Living, breathing, writing writers donate various published and unpublished versions of their texts to the project. You can see the evolution of a piece from one publication to another, for example. Faculty has also made some of their relevant teaching materials available, and some student essays have been put up as an example of the usefulness of variant-based study of literature.
