On critical variation, and a sacrifice -- The fetishism of the critical text -- For a radical philology -- Allegories of instability -- The entropic text
Summary
"How should a literary scholar approach a text characterized not by stability but by variation and flux? This book offers a radical new perspective on the limits - and the accomplishments - of the modern traditions of textual criticism in classics." "Regarding the dossier of successive editions of Iphigenia at Aulis as a symbol for the condition of modern textual reason, Gurd shows lovers of classical literature exactly how contingent the texts really are."--Jacket
