Willard,

Perhaps see post that I wrote a few years ago, entitled "On Scholarly Annotation," 
https://wraabe.wordpress.com/2015/12/03/on-scholarly-annotation/ . I think it 
has a fairly discerning selection from Anglo-American scholarship on annotation, 
with extended abstracts and some interpretive comments (a few side bars also). 
I refer therein to G. Thomas Tanselle's seminar syllabus, which has a longer list 
from which most of those drawn, https://rarebookschool.org/product/tanselle-editing/ 
(PDF available, p. 19-20). Below are some additions, recent essays.

Rockenberger, Annika. “Editing a Discourse, Not a Text: Meta-Methodological Remarks 
on an Editorial Endeavour.” *Journal of Literary Theory,* vol. 10, no. 2, Aug. 2016, 
pp. 366–82. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1515/jlt-2016-0014.

Epstein, Edmund L. “Cruxes in Ulysses: Notes toward an Edition and Annotation.” 
*Foundational Essays in James Joyce Studies,* edited by Michael Patrick Gillespie 
and Sebastian D. G. Knowles, UP of Florida, 2011, pp. 172–84.

Goldman, Jane. “Who Is Mr. Ramsay? Where Is the Lighthouse?: The Politics and 
Pragmatics of Scholarly Annotation.” *Woolf Editing/Editing Woolf*, edited by Eleanor 
McNees and Sara Veglahn, Clemson University Digital, 2009, pp. 189–95.

Lernout, Geert. “Finnegans Wake: Annotation, Translation, Interpretation.” 
*Text: An Interdisciplinary Annual of Textual Studies,* vol. 16, 2006, pp. 79–86.

Jansohn, Christa. “Annotation as Cultural Activity; or, Re-Constructing the Past f
or the Present.” *Problems of Editing,* edited by Christa Jansohn, Niemeyer, 1999, pp. 211–23.

Some authors are treated as more annotatable than others, Shakespeare, Pope's 
*Dunciad,* Joyce, etc. *Ulysses,* example, has two competing book-length sets, 
one designated the annotations, another the allusions. One may of course branch 
out from annotation into allusion and intertextuality, which creates many complications. 
An example of where I think editors have gone wrong in the popular novel *Uncle 
Tom's Cabin,* is by annotating Eli Whitney's cotton gin by rote, when the interesting 
question in the same paragraph is what George Harris's "machine for the cleaning of the 
hemp" may have signified in its moment. One reason that an obviously needed annotation 
is omitted is that annotation is scholarly folk knowledge (though minor additions to 
notes for canonical authors, Shakespeare, Pope, Joyce, Melville, etc., may become a 
published note and thus "scholarship." Except for unquestionably canonical authors, 
borrowing correct and incorrect notes from previous editions, even without bothering 
to cite source, is considered acceptable.

Dear Willard,

My hands down favorite work on the subject is H.J.Jackson's Marginalia: 
Readers Writing in Books. Here's a long-ago review 
 
of the volume. It has informed how I think about all annotation, digital and otherwise.

I hope that one of the replies to your question will be a pointer to rhetorically 
interesting uses of IIIF annotation, which shows a lot of promise for marginalia both 
deeply engaged, and shareable.

Hi Willard,

You might consider consulting the GitHub version of our *Digital Pedagogy
in the Humanities* for Paul Schacht's keyword, "Annotation":
https://github.com/curateteaching/digitalpedagogy/blob/master/keywords/annotation.md

We're in the process of finalizing the entire collection (with building a
new digital platform and going through the copyediting stage), but the
GitHub version is the latest version, thus far. (We anticipate being
finalized in 2019.)

This goes for any of the 60 keywords currently in existence in the Git
repo: https://github.com/curateteaching/digitalpedagogy/tree/master/keywords

Curators/authors author a theoretical definition of the keyword then offer
10 pedagogical pieces with annotation that can be used in many types of
courses. The list of Related Materials at the conclusion of each keyword
offers further reading on the keyword itself. Examples of keywords that
this community might be interested in include: archive, design, digital
divide, failure, gaming, hashtag, hybrid, interface, blogging, multimodal,
network, text analysis, visualization.

All best,
Kathy

Hi Willard,


Please share here on Humanist the annotation list your request 
generates.


Cheers,

        Subject: Re: [Humanist] 32.169: on annotation?

Hi Willard,

On annotation, I'd love to share a couple of resources that may be 
of interest.

The first is "Readers Write: Nineteenth-Century Annotations in 
Copies of the First American Edition of Poe's The Narrative of 
Arthur Gordon Pym," an account of early readers' often-amusing 
reactions in the margins of this hoax-novel. (Some are angry: 
"you, sir, are a liar!") Available in Nineteen Cent Lit, Vol. 55 
No. 3, Dec., 2000; (pp. 399-408) DOI: 10.2307/2903129. 

Another is a [[http://jonreeve.com/projects/annotags/about.html][a 
concept for a decentralized literary annoation protocol]] I 
created a few years ago. The idea is simply to encode book 
identifiers (ISBNs, for instance), and book location information 
(page 64, line 12) in a space-saving base 64 number system, so 
that the resulting code can be used as a hashtag on social media 
platforms. It's technically not reliant on any service, but I made 
a [[http://jonreeve.com/projects/annotags/][javascript calculator 
for these tags here]], as a proof-of-concept, which may or may not 
still work. 

Best,

Jonathan Reeve

Hi Willard

I may not have the same notion of annotation as you (but bringing in the 
running hares) - I think Donald Alcock's books of the 1970s and 80s 
"Illustrating Basic [/ C / Fortran / Pascal]" which not only had hand 
written text but pictures of data structures etc. woven in should make the cut.

(Now I come to think of it, perhaps they should be on your list for *not* 
being annotated since each individual page in all its elements was created 
as a single item by Alcock's hand.)

Regards

Susan
