Excited to have launched our project website for ‘Recovery of Literary of Manuscripts’ at Oxford yesterday. 'Recovery of Literary Manuscripts' is an interdisciplinary project applying multispectral imaging to the study of modern anglophone literature. recovery-of-literary-manuscripts.net

Since 2021, we’ve been recovering lost variants in modern literature – article forthcoming in The Review of English Studies. We’re developing new techniques to restore lost lines of literary manuscripts, revealing more of the world’s extant literature that has remained beyond the reach of critics.

Our DH research is informing literary criticism and scholarly editions, including The Complete Works of Alfred Tennyson for OUP and work on the Shelley Circle for the Johns Hopkins edition of The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley. @navsa.bsky.social @bars.bsky.social @engfac.bsky.social
