Abstract:

This volume explores the complex relations of texts and their contextualising
elements, drawing particularly on the notions of "paratext", "metadiscourse"
and "framing". It aims at developing a more comprehensive historical
understanding of these phenomena, covering a wide time span, from Old English
to the 20th century, in a range of historical genres and contexts of text
production, mediation and consumption. However, more fundamentally, it also
seeks to expand our conception of text and the communicative ‘spaces’
surrounding them, and probe the explanatory potential of the concepts under
investigation. Though essentially rooted in historical linguistics and
philology, the twelve contributions of this volume are also open to insights
from other disciplines (such as medieval manuscript studies and bibliography,
but also information studies, marketing studies, and even digital
electronics), and thus tackle opportunities and challenges in researching the
dynamics of text and framing phenomena in a historical perspective.
