- Description
- Summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) encoding for electronic texts in the humanities, advocating a middle ground between "realist" and "anti-realist" theories of what can and should be represented. Expresses concerns about the future of electronic editing, drawing examples from The Wife of Bath Prologue on CD-ROM (1996; SAC 20 [1998], no. 11) and The General Prologue on CD-ROM (2000; SAC 24 [2002], no. 41), among others.
