“Most of all, we in the academy have lost sight of reading
as pleasure. In short, we have lost the common ground
we once shared with general readers …
It is quite likely that any wide investment in complex
electronic archives of the kinds build and imagined by
McGann, Robinson and others will exacerbate this
professional disengagement, concealing it under a
scientific façade of busy manipulation, interrogation and
complex searching.
-- Marilyn Deegan and Kathryn Sutherland Transferred
Illusions: Digital Technologies
and the Forms of Print, 2009
Deegan and Sutherland don’t
need to worry

• Being able to use Oxygen does not make you a
textual scholar
Just remind ourselves: why do we do
this?
• Give access to everyone
Just remind ourselves: why do we do
this?
• Give access to everyone
• Answer questions you can’t answer any other
way
Just remind ourselves: why do we do
this?
• Give access to everyone
• Answer questions you can’t answer any other

Hence, Textual Communities

make a digital edition
Things never seen before
• CantApp

Canterbury Tale
