The title of this Issue was taken from the sixteenth annual ESTS conference of the same name, which took place in Málaga, Spain on 28–29 November 2019 where it was hosted by the Department of English, French and German Philology at the University of Málaga. In good ESTS tradition, the Málaga conference brought together specialists in the theory and practice of textual scholarship from a wide range of countries, including Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Its 43 papers were organized into 12 sessions, which were arranged according to topics related to the theme of the conference such as: methods and tools in textual scholarship; types of editing; scholarly editions; texts worth editing; digital editing; the editing of historical texts; textual scholarship in the digital humanities; textual scholarship and translation studies; and directions and challenges in editing. In addition to the papers presented by members of the ESTS, the conference included two plenary lectures: one by Professor Isabel de la Cruz Cabanillas (University of Alcalá) and another by Professor Jukka Tyrkkö (Linnaeus University and University of Turku). While de la Cruz Cabanillas delved into the topic of the editor’s role by focusing on editorial interventions (and their implications) in Middle English texts, Tyrkkö was concerned with annotation practices of visual and paratextual features from both manuscripts and early printed publications, approaching the topic from the perspectives of both textual scholarship and corpus linguistics. A lot has happened since those stimulating days in the temperate southern Spanish winter. Only a few short weeks later, a group of Chinese scientists would identify a new strain of the coronavirus that would rapidly hold the iii iv Variants 15–16 (2021) world in its grasp — and is still wreaking havoc even now, eighteen months later, as nations around the globe are rushing to vaccinate their citizens. It has been an especially trying time for all of us, as we become restricted in our movement and personal interactions, as we try to strike a healthy work-life balance, and as we combat illness and hope for the health and safety of those close to us. In academia, as indeed in all other professional fields, these events have invariably caused a plethora of delays as people struggle to adapt and re-adapt their daily routines to a “new normal” that itself continuously keeps evolving until this day. Priorities have to change when the infrastructures we have come to rely on suddenly fail us, and we personally have to take care of our elderly, our sickly family members, or our children. That is, of course, when we are lucky enough not to get sick ourselves, or have to mourn our loved ones. At the same time, infrastructures that we require for professional rather than personal reasons have in many cases become periodically inaccessible to us as well. Indeed, as the world struggles to manage a global pandemic, it has become even more clear just how much our society relies on the affordances of (digital) technologies for the organisation of our personal and professional lives. Now more than ever, access to and proficiency with digital resources determine the extent to which individuals are able (or even allowed) to interact with each other, and to contribute to society. If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught our academic community anything, it is the inescapable fact that the resilience of our research relies upon the development, sustainability, interoperability, and conscientious criticism of our digital tools, technologies, and methodologies. These and other exceptional circumstances have also caused the publication of this Issue to be delayed in all facets of our publication pipeline: from submissions to reviewing, from revisions to proofreading, and eventually to publication itself. As the editorial board of Variants 15–16, we apologize for these delays, which caused us to publish this Issue almost exactly a year later than originally planned. We thank our readers for their patience, but also all our contributors and other collaborators for their continued efforts and support in this difficult time. The result of these efforts is a sizable and strong double issue that we believe will be the start of much further debate, inside and outside the Variants publica- tion venue. The Issue combines eight full-length essays, three shorter work-in- progress pieces, one review essay, and five traditional literature reviews. Besides an obvious joint interest in and relevance to the field of textual scholarship, these contributions share a number of common threads. The Issue opens with a promising look at what textual scholarship in the twenty-first century may yet hold in store for us, as early career researcher Lamyk Bekius explores the possibilities of critically analysing born digital writ- ing processes in her essay titled “The Reconstruction of the Author’s Movement Through the Text”. There, she takes a closer look at the intricately detailed out- put of a keystroke logger called InputLog that was used by Flemish author Gie Bogaert when he wrote his novel Roosevelt (2016). InputLog tracks an author’s movements through the text in the smallest level of detail, resulting in informa- Editors’ Preface v tion that allows Bekius to map what she calls the “nanogenesis” of a literary work.

    Distant Reading, Computational Stylistics, and Corpus Linguistics the Critical Theory of Digital Humanities for Literature Subject Librarians David D

    CHAPTER FOUR Distant Reading, Computational Stylistics, and Corpus Linguistics The Critical Theory of Digital Humanities for Literature Subject Librarians David D. Oberhelman FOR LITERATURE librarians who frequently assist or even collaborate with faculty, researchers, IT professionals, and students on digital humanities (DH) projects, understanding some of the tacit or explicit literary theoretical assumptions involved in the practice of DH can help them better serve their constituencies and also equip them to serve as a bridge between the DH community and the more traditional practitioners of literary criticism who may not fully embrace, or may even oppose, the scientific leanings of their DH colleagues.* I will therefore provide a brief overview of the theory * Literary scholars’ opposition to the use of science and technology is not new, as Helle Porsdam has observed by looking at the current debates over DH in the academy in terms of the academic debate in Great Britain in the 1950s and 1960s between the chemist and novelist C. P. Snow and the literary critic F. R. Leavis over the “two cultures” of science and the humanities (Helle Porsdam, “Too Much ‘Digital,’ Too Little ‘Humanities’? An Attempt to Explain Why Humanities Scholars Are Reluctant Converts to Digital Humanities,” Arcadia project report, 2011, DSpace@Cambridge, www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/244642). 54 DISTANT READING behind the technique of DH in the case of literature—the use of “distant reading” as opposed to “close reading” of literary texts as well as the use of computational linguistics, stylistics, and corpora studies—to help literature subject librarians grasp some of the implications of DH for the literary critical tradition and learn how DH practitioners approach literary texts in ways that are fundamentally different from those employed by many other critics.† Armed with this knowledge, subject librarians may be able to play a role in integrating DH into the traditional study of literature.

    KB-Driven Information Extraction to Enable Distant Reading of Museum Collections Giovanni A

    KB-Driven Information Extraction to Enable Distant Reading of Museum Collections Giovanni A. Cignoni, Progetto HMR, [email protected] Enrico Meloni, Progetto HMR, [email protected] Short abstract (same as the one submitted in ConfTool) Distant reading is based on the possibility to count data, to graph and to map them, to visualize the re- lations which are inside the data, to enable new reading perspectives by the use of technologies. By contrast, close reading accesses information by staying at a very fine detail level. Sometimes, we are bound to close reading because technologies, while available, are not applied. Collections preserved in the museums represent a relevant part of our cultural heritage. Cataloguing is the traditional way used to document a collection. Traditionally, catalogues are lists of records: for each piece in the collection there is a record which holds information on the object. Thus, a catalogue is just a table, a very simple and flat data structure. Each collection has its own catalogue and, even if standards exists, they are often not applied. The actual availability and usability of information in collections is impaired by the need of access- ing each catalogue individually and browse it as a list of records. This can be considered a situation of mandatory close reading. The paper discusses how it will be possible to enable distant reading of collections. Our proposed solution is based on a knowledge base and on KB-driven information extraction. As a case study, we refer to a particular domain of cultural heritage: history of information science and technology (HIST).

Reading challenges can show up early on and may include reading accuracy, speed, or comprehension to the extent that the impairment interferes with academic achievement or activities of daily life. Various technologies (text customization, text simplification, text to speech devices, screening for readers through games and web applications, to name a few) have been developed to help poor readers to get better access to information as well as to support reading development. Among those technologies, text simplification is a powerful way to leverage document accessibility by using NLP techniques. The “First Workshop on Tools and Resources to Empower People with REAding DIfficulties” (READI), collocated with the “International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation” (LREC 2020), aims at presenting current state-of-the-art techniques and achievements for text simplification together with existing reading aids and resources for lifelong learning, addressing a variety of domains and languages, including natural language processing, linguistics, psycholinguistics, psychophysics of vision and education.
