By looking at a research project that Jurgen Pieters is supervising at the University of Gent, this lecture will evaluate the impact that new technologies can have on the study of historical texts.
The case study at hand is that of the Ooghen-troost text by Dutch poet Constantijn Huygens (1647). Jurgen Pieters will specifically address the theories of the American literary scholar Jerome McGann and will relate his work to the notion of paratext by Gerard Genette.
