• Author / Creator

• This thesis examines and compares printed and digital scholarly editions from three separate but complementary perspectives. The overarching aim is to increase the understanding of the relative merits of printed and digital scholarly editions. The perspectives employed include a theoretical one, in which scholarly editions are situated within the context of media theory; a comparative one, in which particular printed and digital editions are compared with each other; and another comparative one, in which particular digital editions are compared with each other.
  
  The conclusion is that although digital scholarly editions offer new and exciting opportunities for research, printed ones also have advantages and are still useful for scholars.
