 Description: Textual criticism is one of the few scholarly fields that can be talked about in terms of millennia, for it has been practiced in an organized fashion for at least twenty-three hundred years. A millennial year is a natural point for retrospection and stock-taking, and the most recent one, marking the turn to the twenty-first century, came at a moment fundamentally unlike any other in the long history of the field. Although differing approaches to perennial issues might have been in the ascendent at whatever past moments one chooses to look at, all those moments—before the last decade or two of the twentieth century— would have shared a dominant concern for authorial intention as the basis for editing. During the last part of the twentieth century, however, a focus on texts as social products came to characterize the bulk of the discussion of textual theory, if not editions themselves. For the first time, the majority of writings on textual matters expressed a lack of interest in, and often active disapproval of, approaching texts as the products of individual creators; and it promoted instead the forms of texts that emerged from the social process leading to public distribution, forms that were therefore accessible to readers.
