Overview

Both an intellectual autobiography and a chronicle of the ideological and methodological upheaval in textual studies during the last two decades, this book presents provocative essays by one of the foremost textual scholars of our day. As founder and executive director of the interdisciplinary Society for Textual Scholarship, Professor Greetham has had the opportunity to observe and engage with the main players of the textual revolution during its most turbulent years and enlivens his account with revealing character sketches.
