Summary

Because the recuperation of early modern women's texts has burgeoned at precisely the point that the digital medium started providing new possibilities for editing, early modern women’s writing stands in a unique relationship to online editing and knowledge-construction. Scholars of early modern women have been quick to respond to the major editorial opportunities afforded by the digital medium: those of the database, the online edition, and the archive. But how have these opportunities impacted the ways we approach editing early modern women’s texts? What lessons have been learnt from early experiments in the field and what current possibilities warrant further exploration? This chapter approaches these questions by asking what possible solutions the digital medium might provide to the editorial issues raised in this volume. To what extent does the author remain the determining principle of early modern editing in general, the editing of early modern women in particular, and digital editions of both? How well do editorial practices designed to produce scholarly editions of canonical male writers translate to the editing of women’s texts – in both print and digital formats? And what specific opportunities and challenges are involved in reproducing the texts of early modern women in today’s digital environment?
