Description
Argues that electronic editions are both archival and interpretive, enabling users "to find the one text they seek" and recording data that reflect reception history and provide linguistic information. Cites examples from the electronic WBP (SAC 20 [1998], no. 11) to demonstrate how texts change as we view them in different ways and from different perspectives.
