Introduction
This is a live bibliography for the history and theory of modern philology. It will continue to be expanded and updated, so we gladly welcome your supplements and suggestions, your comments and corrections. Please make contact with Christian Hoekema (christian.hoekema@ugent.be) to do so.
Note: this running bibliography is meant to be selective, not comprehensive, as a tool for further study. The compilation aims for thematic, linguistic, historical, and disciplinary diversity. Sources are listed only once, even when they could fit beneath multiple categories.
Structure
The listings appear chronologically, by date of publication. The first two sections (theoretical frameworks for philology and historical accounts of philology) comprise sources written in the 19th century itself as well as subsequent literature from the 20th and 21st centuries. By contrast, the third section (key debates in the history of philology) reflects more recent historiography, without including the original sources from the period.
