Brought to book: Textual-editorial studies and the methodology of book history with a scholarly edition of Charles Harpur's complete poetry

澳大利亚将第一次可靠地获得我们最重要的殖民地诗人查尔斯·哈普尔所有诗句的准确版本。研究他的手稿和出版史，将揭示诗人作为帝国殖民关系的一个横截面在社会中的地位。一个具有协作解释功能的Harpur网站将成为未来项目的典范。通过免费的电子方式获得哈普尔手稿的传真和复印件，学生和广大公众将从中受益。按需印刷技术最终将允许学生的教学大纲教科书借鉴这些材料。

Australia will possess reliable access for the first time to accurate versions of all of the verse of our most important colonial poet, Charles Harpur. Study of his manuscripts and publishing history will reveal the poet's place in society as a cross-section of Imperial-colonial relations. A Harpur website with collaborative interpretation will serve as a model for future projects. There will be benefits for students and the wider public through free electronic access to facsimiles and transcriptions of Harpur's manuscripts. Print-on-demand technology will ultimately allow coursebooks for student syllabuses to draw on the material.
