Abstract

Abstract Theories of the Text is a comprehensive account of the changing practice of bibliography, textual criticism, and scholarly editing in the light of the diverse currents of contemporary critical theory. It offers both an introduction to the history of textual debate and an account of the current debates over such issues as authorial intention, textual organicism, the socialization of the text, and intertextuality. Despite the positivist tradition of textual scholarship, the author argues, such work is a hermeneutic activity taking place within certain (usually unacknowledged) social and cultural conceptual constraints.
