Summary
The internet has expanded access to the works of Michael Field by making them freely available in digital form. This chapter explains how digital editions differ from print editions and raises questions about whether we should consider them as the same text or not. It identifies the basic types of digital editions, describes how the process of creating them can introduce changes into the text, and discusses how minor textual changes can affect how we interpret what we read. Two common options for encoding digital texts are introduced, and we consider the promise of textual encoding to enmesh the text within the ‘semantic web’.
