The Forum on Bibliography and Scholarly Editing invites proposals for two sessions:

Intention

Authorial intention has long been rejected as a viable constraint upon literary interpretation, but to what extent is it still operative in textual scholarship? Seeking 250-word abstracts on textual theory, collaboration, coercion, publishing, and historiography. Deadline for submissions: Monday, 20 March 2023

Contact Marissa Nicosia, Penn State U, Abington (marissa.nicosia@gmail.com ) or Sarah Neville, Ohio SU (neville.67@osu.edu) https://mla.confex.com/mla/2024/webprogrampreliminary/Paper23328.html

Revision

Scholarly editions often posit authorial revision as a means of accounting for textual variance, but editors disagree on the extent to which extra-authorial revision should be considered. Seeking 250-word abstracts on revision and editorial practice. Deadline for submissions: Monday, 20 March 2023

Contact Marissa Nicosia, Penn State U, Abington (marissa.nicosia@gmail.com ) or Sarah Neville, Ohio SU (neville.67@osu.edu) https://mla.confex.com/mla/2024/webprogrampreliminary/Paper23331.html
