>informational footnotes affect studentsí 
>reception of the work, and the workís integrity?
>   -How are works affected by the inclusion of 
>illustrations which are not original to the text?
>   -In cases where there exists more than one 
>authoritative version, how are differences 
>reconciled in order to create one cohesive text 
>suitable for publishing, and how does this 
>affect the work as a whole? (i.e. Hardyís Tess 
>of the díUrbervilles, Marloweís Doctor Faustus)
>   -How do anthologies and compilations affect the reception of a single text?
