NOT THAT ANYONE THOUGHT COMPUTERS MADE THINGS EASIER, BUT . . .

From the 17 August Chronicle of Higher Education ~ “Shakespeare didn’t have a word processor, but almost all writers today do. Scholars must play a major role in deciding how to preserve and study the various electronic versions of literary works, writes Matthew Kirschenbaum, an associate professor of English at the University of Maryland at College Park.”
