Abstract

Despite Woolf’s own prescience and the surprising resonance of many of her ideas with digital culture, the modernist publishing landscape necessarily goes far beyond the Hogarth Press. Just as we begin to understand a broadened scope of influence even for a small press by looking in detail at publishing networks and by leveraging digital archives, we see just how much work still needs to be done to capture a fuller picture of the early twentieth-century world of books. As we look towards the future, we’re considering not only how our collaborative practices might evolve and develop as we work further together, but also how we can expand the scope of the research itself.

The scholar is confronted with a vast jigsaw puzzle made up of countless fragments of truth; but many pieces are missing, and others are fitted into the wrong places. (Altick 1987, p. 14)
