ENG 375 Making English

A huge range of things can happen to a text between a moment of authorial inspiration and a reader's encounter with printed (or digital) text. This course explores such textual mysteries by making a digital edition of a work from Lafayette's Special Collections and, in the process, engaging students in thinking about questions of history and theory that have defined English Studies. From their work on the digital edition, students will also develop individual projects related to their own interests within the major. [W]
