Produktbeschreibung

"It's not often that the tireless work of editors, archivists and educators is treated with the same scholarly level of appreciation typically allotted to writers and poets. In the case of Manly and Rickert such attention is richly deserved, and this collection, edited by Ellison and Kim, brings a range of perspectives to bear upon their storied careers, producing a range of valuable new insights. As an overview of Manly and Rickert's valuable contributions, this book recommends itself to any university with provision in early modern literary studies. For those working in the area, valuable and unexpected connections are made throughout that will re-enliven The Text of the Canterbury Tales, and the pair's other contributions, adding new levels of depth and appreciation to these important texts." -Dr Joseph Darlington, Futureworks Media School

This edited collection of essays brings together scholars across disciplines whoconsider the collaborative work of John Matthews Manly and Edith Rickert, philologists, medievalists and early modernists, cryptologists, and education reformers. These pioneers crafted an extensive interdisciplinary network of intellectual partnerships that made possible groundbreaking projects, from the eight-volume Text of the Canterbury Tales (1940) to the deciphering of the Waberski Cipher. Yet, except for their Chaucer work, their many other accomplishments have received little attention. Collaborative Humanities Research and Pedagogy not only surveys the rich range of their work but also emphasizes the transformative intellectual and pedagogical benefits of collaboration.
