Born-digital projects
EE offers born-digital editions the possibility of publishing large correspondence collections online, integrated into our network of biographical and documentary links. Once the correspondences have been edited and prepared for online publication they will be fully integrated into EE's architecture and will benefit from links to thousands of other documents, persons and themes. If you are interested in publishing a born-digital edition in EE, or in exploring links between your edition project and EE, please email us about . Your publication will appear in our register of EE source editions.
In partnership with a born-digital correspondence edition:
Jacques Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737–1814) was a major figure of the late French Enlightenment whose correspondence includes over 2500 surviving letters. This correspondence has never before been published in a critical edition. The Bernardin de Saint-Pierre Project has been granted funding by the AHRC to provide a critical edition of the letters in an electronic form, allowing for full searching facilities and links to other correspondences published in EE. The first group of over 200 of these letters was published online in April 2009.
Editorial team: Malcolm Cook (General editor), Kate Astbury, Simon Davies, Mark Darlow, Rebecca Ford, Philip Robinson, Catriona Seth and Mark Waddicor with Anne-Sophie Barrovecchio, Verity Irvine, Marie-Therese Oubrier-Austin and Tim Reeve.
In planning stages:
Pierre Robert Le Cornier de Cideville (1695–1776), a close friend of Voltaire's and co-founder of the Académie de Rouen, is a major figure of French provincial Enlightenment. His correspondence bears witness to the breadth of his relations with major figures of his time and casts new light on literary life in Paris and the provinces in the 18th century. This electronic critical edition of letters from the hitherto unexplored Cideville archive in the Bibliothèque municipale de Rouen will be linked to other correspondences published in EE to provide a rich demonstration of the intellectual interchanges so influential in the spread of Enlightenment ideas.
Editorial team: Catriona Seth (General editor), Christophe Cave, Nicholas Cronk, Aude Henry-Gobet and Christiane Mervaud.
