Texts

I originally intended to base the seminar on Caxton's edition as offered by EEBO - hoping the Penguin edition would offer a decent transcription of that source. The Penguin edition is, however, modernised throughout. The best alternative is at the moment the Winchester Manuscript as published in the critical Norton edition. The problem is here the wild layout (an attempt to reproduce graphical aspects of the original handwritten text) and the fact that the manuscript remained unknown till its rediscovery in 1934.

My recommendation is to use either edition - Penguin or Norton Critical or an html-Text of the Penguin edition I will provide. We should spend some work on a comparison of the Penguin modernised text with Caxton's original and might actually edit a part of the Caxton text on the internet.
