There is still room for one or two papers for the session on editing (and re-editing) important historical manuscripts, at the South-Central Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, to be held in New Orleans, February 21-23, 2008/ The purpose of this session is to discuss the practical, technological, and theoretical challenges of preparing unpublished historical manuscripts or developing new approaches to manuscripts published in an earlier era. Many scholars are currently working on projects to establish, annotate, and interpret historical texts. New technologies may help: searchable text-bases uncover sources, analogues and plagiarisms. Digital publication and distance collaboration offer other possibilities. Theoretical issues include the revision of earlier editorial biases and metanarratives, identifying the fictionalizing of so-called first-hand accounts, and many other possible topics. Please send proposals to Kevin Berland, <[log in to unmask]>, by October 1. Thanks. Cheers -- Kevin
