It is possible for students to obtain advanced degrees in
English while knowing little or nothing about traditional
scholarly methods. The consequences of this neglect of
traditional scholarship are particularly unfortunate for the

whose works are most widely taught-is ever to include
more women, scholars must be well trained in historical
scholarship and textual editing. Scholars who do not know
how to read early manuscripts, locate rare books, establish

for revising the canon.
To address such concerns, an experimental version of
the traditional scholarly methods course was designed to

minimize the artificial aspects of the conventional course,
the usual procedure of assigning a large number of small
problems drawn from the entire range of historical periods
was abandoned, though this procedure has the obvious
(20)advantage of at least superficially familiarizing students
with a wide range of reference sources. Instead students
were engaged in a collective effort to do original work on
a neglected eighteenth-century writer, Elizabeth Griffith, to
give them an authentic experience of literary scholarship
