NEW APPROACHES IN TEXTUAL EDITING. A SELECTION OF ELECTRONIC EDITIONS UNDER ANALYSIS
Abstract
In the present article, we make an approach to the world of digital editions available in electronic format. Using as a starting point Professor González Fernández-Corugedo's classification of some of the best web pages related to the topic (available at http://www.uniovi.es/HELL/Hyptxed.html) we have examined the design and contents of some sites that deal with texts mainly in Old and Middle English. The readers are offered an outline of what they are expected to find in every page, highlighting their main virtues and shortcomings. As a result of the analysis of al1 these pages we are ready to propose certain steps necessary in the elaboration of a 'good' electronic edition.Downloads
