            <p>The <emph>Electronic Enlightenment Scholarly Edition of Correspondence</emph>
                    (EE), under the directorship of Robert McNamee and made available on a
                    subscription basis by Oxford University Press, is a text collection of over
                    70,000 individual letters (written between participants of the ‘republic of
                    letters’), biographical details of contributors, and additional contextual
                    information. This review offers an overview of the collection (or, perhaps more
                    accurately, collections) and its technical presentation, and some brief
                    reflections on the benefits and limitations of the database (and others of its
                    sort) within the realm of digital text collections and digital scholarship
                    generally.</p>

            <p xml:id="p1">For the historian, private (and not so private) letters are an
                    invaluable resource, albeit one which can be difficult to work with. Beyond the
                    practicality of finding sources held amongst diverse and distant archives,
                    access is often restricted to items which are also historical artefacts. Even as
                    published collections they are often too expensive or specialist for libraries
                    to justify purchasing, and unwieldy for researchers to interrogate with
                    precision. Rousseau’s <emph>Correspondance complète</emph>, for example, is 52
                    volumes and over twenty thousand pages. The <emph>Electronic Enlightenment
                        Scholarly Edition of Correspondence</emph> (generally referred to as
                        <emph>Electronic Enlightenment</emph>, or simply EE) is an online collection
                    of edited historical correspondences which overcomes these issues (<ref target="http://www.e-enlightenment.com">http://www.e-enlightenment.com</ref>).</p>
            <p xml:id="p2">EE is an Oxford University Press subscription based digital
                    collection managed by the Bodleian Library. The architect and project director
                    is Robert McNamee and the technical editor is Mark Rogerson. It was initially
                    supported with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with further
                    support from the Florence Gould Foundation and the Voltaire Foundation. While it
                    does not appear to have a specific mission statement, it does enumerate its
                    perceived strengths: to be, unlike archives and libraries, always open and
                    accessible; to be a work-in-progress which continues to expand its content and
                    contextual details; to be ‘next-generation’ digital, ‘a database-driven site
                    [which] allows more complex searches &amp; growing functionality’; to contain
                    scholarly content by choosing source material which has been ‘researched,
                    verified &amp; expanded’; and to be comprehensive.<note xml:id="ftn1">

            <head>Details of the collection</head>
            <p xml:id="p3">After ten years of preparation, the collection was made available in
                    August 2008. The ‘founding corpus’ is made up of 61 printed collections of
                    correspondences from 19 different academic presses – those considered to be the
                    best critical editions, rather than (as is often the case) the easiest to
                        obtain.<note xml:id="ftn2">EE notes that its collection has been built upon
                        a ‘wish-list’ of ‘key’ items which was decided upon by the editors. Thus,
                        while there are no specific editorial criteria listed for inclusion, the
                        fact that the collection is curated by experts is a strength. In addition,
                        the editors note that they remain open to further contributions.</note>
                    These collections continue to be supplemented as new letters emerge, and new
                    collections are added annually – be they sourced from published print editions,
                    or born digital editions created specifically for EE.<note xml:id="ftn3">A list
                        of the sub-corpora which make up EE can be found at: <ref target="http://web.archive.org/web/20170405135445/http://www.e-enlightenment.com/coffeehouse/project/editions.html">http://web.archive.org/web/20170405135445/http://www.e-enlightenment.com/coffeehouse/project/editions.html</ref>.</note>
                    All sub-corpora are treated equally within the database and are integrated
                    seamlessly by making each letter, regardless of source, its own entry within the
                    database. At the same time, all individual letters explicitly credit and offer
                    references to the source corpus (printed and/or digital). The original
                    annotations from the printed editions are carried over, and presented separately
                    from any which may have been added by EE. The collection’s fact sheet notes that
                    they hold letters from 8,560 correspondents, from 53 nationalities, covering 11
                    languages, and 777 occupations. There are currently letters ranging from the
                    early seventeenth (1609) to early twentieth (1900) century, covering Africa, the
                    Americas, Asia, Europe, and even one letter written on a ship crossing the
                        Atlantic.<note xml:id="ftn4">Alexander Mackenzie, "Alexander Mackenzie to
                        Roderic Mackenzie: Wednesday, 30 October 1799”, (Robert McNamee et al.:
                        2008-2017).</note> There are 70,057 individual letters and documents (keyed,
                    rather than digitized via OCR, with further corrections regularly made),
                    information on 64,741 manuscripts and 106,933 early edition sources are linked
                    to individual letters. In total there are 319,778 scholarly annotations, 1,476
                    links to and from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, and external
                    links to over 50 other online resources.<note xml:id="ftn5">
                  <ref target="http://web.archive.org/web/20170405140442/http://www.e-enlightenment.com/info/about/ee_facts/">http://web.archive.org/web/20170405140442/http://www.e-enlightenment.com/info/about/ee_facts/</ref>.
                    </note> It should be noted that these documents, and related information (such
                    as metadata), are not exportable, and access is only possible via the web
                    interface (as HTML documents – although there is a print function).</p>
            <p xml:id="p4">Correspondents are those who could be considered, in the broadest
                    sense of the term, participants in the ‘republic of letters’ – as EE notes: ‘the
                    ideas and concerns not only of thinkers and scholars, politicians and diplomats,
                    but also butchers and housewives, servants and shopkeepers’ are represented. And
                    while the former categories are certainly represented more than the latter,
                    there is a respectable spread – for example, while roughly 10% (77) of the
                    correspondents are considered to be philosophers, 44 servants are also included
                    – although one would suspect they were mostly recipients rather than authors,
                    and in terms of total letters the two are incomparable.<note xml:id="ftn6">
                  <ref target="http://web.archive.org/web/20170405140623/http://www.e-enlightenment.com/info/about/">http://web.archive.org/web/20170405140623/http://www.e-enlightenment.com/info/about/</ref>.
                    </note> This, however, is not a flaw with EE. The historical facts and details
                    which emerge through letters are not the only, or even primary, subject of
                    interest. Instead, the ideas being discussed are key.<note xml:id="ftn7">In this
                        way EE distinguishes itself from many other resources (such as those
                        catalogued by <emph>Early Modern Letters Online</emph>. <ref target="http://emlo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/">http://emlo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/</ref>. </note> Oxford University
                    classifies the database’s subject areas as English Language, Literature,
                    History, and Philosophy, and topics, by EE’s own description, cover ‘everything
                    from religious tolerance to animal rights, vulcanology to classical archeology,
                    economic modelling to celebrity culture.’<note xml:id="ftn8">

                    </note> This subject material means authors covered have largely been from the
                    European and North American context, writing in the early modern era.<note xml:id="ftn9">Of the 45,195 letters which have their locations linked,
                        42,782 are from Europe, 1,919 from North and Central America, 453 from Asia,
                        35 from Africa, 5 from South America, and 1 (as noted previously) from the
                        Atlantic Ocean (<ref target="https://web.archive.org/web/20170505090908/http://0-www.e-enlightenment.com/location/">https://web.archive.org/web/20170505090908/http://0-www.e-enlightenment.com/location/</ref>).</note>
                    However, this is not a goal, and EE aims to expand both chronologically and
                    geographically.</p>

                  <head type="legend">Biographical data.</head>
               </figure> EE attempts to be more than a primary source collection for letters,
                    however. Contextual details are also provided throughout, such as biographical
                    data for authors (<ref type="crossref" target="#img1">Fig. 1</ref>) and
                    recipients, physical details about letters, and information on manuscripts or
                    documents relevant to specific letters (such as links to other letters on the
                    same immediate topic, additional documents sent with the original parcel, or
                    documents which could be considered continuations of the one being viewed – for
                    example journal entries). Additional resources include the ‘Coffee-house’
                    section, which is made up of the ‘reading room,’ containing contextual and
                    complimentary sources; the ‘classroom,’ offering resources for instructors (such
                    as teaching plans); and the ‘map room,’ containing a historical atlas (in
                    progress) and a ‘gazetteer’ section. In addition there is the ‘Print-house’
                    section which includes the ‘letterbook,’ home to ‘secondary materials concerned
                    with letters and lives, published in a more informal setting than one would find
                    in a peer-reviewed journal,’ and other EE updates and miscellany.<note xml:id="ftn10">

               </figure> The database of historical correspondences is EE’s primary purpose,
                    and the webpage is designed to make research into specific thinkers or topics
                    simple, while also allowing for more exploratory engagements. The former can be
                    achieved by using a standard search engine; the latter through the ‘browse’
                    interface. Browsing is divided into the letters, lives, and locations
                    categories, and then subdivided further: letters by decade; lives by surname,
                    nationality, or occupation; and locations can be explored by descending from the
                    continent level. The search engine can query the content of letters,
                    biographies, locations, instances/manuscripts, and annotations (<ref type="crossref" target="#img2">Fig. 2</ref>). In each case specific
                    refinements are possible. In the case of searching letters, one can limit
                    results by specifying a letter’s language; author and/or recipients name(s)
                    and/or age(s); dates; locations; and excluding words. Quotation marks specifying
                    exact string matches and asterisks representing wildcards are also allowed.</p>

                    on the left hand side of the webpage) and additional contextual information
                    (when available). This includes, in order of presentation: details for the
                    editorial project which the letter is a part of (for example, the EE founding
                    corpus, or recently added ‘Digital correspondence of Bernardin de
                    Saint-Pierre’), including the individual letter’s editor(s). A unique DOI for
                    each letter is then provided, followed by the author and recipient’s ages and
                    names (which double as links to pages containing biographical details and a list
                    of additional correspondences); dates in Julian, Georgian, and revolutionary
                    calendars (when applicable); the location the letter was written from and to;
                    and details from the original envelope, such as address, postmarks, and
                    endorsements. Links to annotations, divided into authorial, textual, editorial,
                    language, and general remarks, are provided (which are also presented within the
                    letter itself, differentiated by unique colour). Finally, bibliographic details
                    for the original source are provided (which includes links to the specific
                    edition’s editorial guidelines, principles, and practices), and information on
                    any other known publishing instances are given. In addition, links (via the
                    pencil icon) are provided for citing the letter in Chicago, MHRA, MLA standards,
                    as well as the ability to export bibliographic data for use by reference
                    managers.</p>
            <p xml:id="p8">The text of the letter is presented to the right of the METABAR. The
                    digital copy, as noted, is keyed, and no facsimiles are included (although
                    illustrations are included when available). At the top of the letter are tabs
                    linking to any information on additional items enclosed with the letter; links
                    to documents related to the letter; links to different versions and translations
                    of the letter;<note xml:id="ftn11">There is a translation project attached to EE
                        which appears to have three methods of obtaining translations: making use of
                        already existing translations when available; working with individual
                        scholars willing to provide translations; and working with graduate
                        translation programmes (in particular, the University of Wisconsin,
                        Milwaukee). This aspect of the project is noted as being ‘modest,’ and there
                        have been no updates since winter 2014.</note> and links to the parent
                    letter (if, for example, one is looking at a translation). The annotations can
                    occasionally be overwhelming (see attached screenshot), and this can make text
                    copied from the webpage to a document messy.</p>
            <p xml:id="p9">With regard to the underlying data model, there is no information
                    provided. This is a shame as documentation covering these areas would offer
                    insights into the methodological standards used, and go some way to enhancing it
                    as an ideal digital source collection. Similarly, when it comes to
                    interoperability between EE and other platforms or databases, there is no
                    reference to OAI-PMH, REST, or the development of its own API. There is work
                    being done on MARC records for individual letters, but it is unclear what the
                    availability of these records will be when complete.<note xml:id="ftn12">

            <p xml:id="p10">Within the broader realm of digital text collections one may note,
                    with qualification, that EE can be improved in some ways. Emphasis is, for
                    obvious reasons, placed on simplifying access to the key collection. As a
                    result, additional resources come across as scattered, and as a secondary
                    consideration at times. With regard to searching, there is room for more complex
                    functions (for example, some method of automated approximate string matching,
                    variants, or metaphone searches). This is particularly relevant for a collection
                    which contains historical spelling variations. Additionally, language and
                    translation tools, such as bilingual dictionaries, would be very welcome. With
                    regard to browsing, a simple one-click method of bringing up exchanges between
                    two authors would also be welcome (perhaps included in the ‘related’ tab).<note xml:id="ftn13">One may expect the ‘next letter’ link to do this, but the
                        function of this link depends on the method used to access the current
                        letter (i.e., by search results, or as dictated by the category one is
                        browsing). While it is possible to bring up the entirety of correspondences
                        between two authors, the method this reviewer has come to use requires
                        finding a letter by an individual of interest, clicking on the author or
                        recipient in the METABAR, clicking on the ‘correspondents’ tab, finding the
                        intended author within the resulting list (which, in some cases, is hundreds
                        of entries long, presented in groupings of fifteen individuals per page),
                        and then clicking an icon of a hand holding a quill. This is a welcome
                        feature, but cumbersome.</note> Similarly, contextual linking between
                    letters (for example, between mentioned authors or places) would be a
                    potentially useful addition. Finally, although clearly beyond the remit of EE,
                    facsimiles of original letters would be of interest to some researchers.</p>
            <p xml:id="p11">With regard to digital scholarship and methodological reflections
                    more generally, it is worth noting that there is a divide developing between
                    traditional scholarship and more forward-thinking digital engagements – a
                    ‘quantitative shift’ in which traditionally qualitative texts are being taken,
                    transformed, and treated as data so as to extract information from documents
                    which is otherwise too labour intensive, or even undetectable.<note xml:id="ftn14">For one introduction to these ideas see Grimmer and Stewart’s
                        “Text as Data: The Promise and Pitfalls of Automatic Content Analysis
                        Methods for Political Texts.” For reflections on these issues with regard to
                        history see Mark J. Hill’s “Invisible Interpretations: reflections on the
                        digital humanities and intellectual history”.</note> As Bullard has noted:
                    ‘the most successful resources of recent years have been analytical in function,
                    using database software to present texts that are too information-rich to be
                    readable in any straightforward way, such as diaries, registers, library
                    catalogues, or serials’ (Bullard 2013, 749). EE is not unaware of these
                    possibilities, as made obvious by some of the ongoing projects it has partnered
                    itself with, such as ‘Identifying intertextual relationships in large-scale
                    digital text collections,’ ‘Topic modelling through latent Dirichlet allocation
                    (LDA),’ and Stanford’s ‘Mapping the Republic of Letters.’<note xml:id="ftn15">See <ref target="http://web.archive.org/web/20170405151401/http://www.e-enlightenment.com/coffeehouse/project/intertextual/">http://web.archive.org/web/20170405151401/http://www.e-enlightenment.com/coffeehouse/project/intertextual/</ref>,
                            <ref target="http://web.archive.org/web/20170405151453/http://www.e-enlightenment.com/coffeehouse/project/ldatopics/">http://web.archive.org/web/20170405151453/http://www.e-enlightenment.com/coffeehouse/project/ldatopics/</ref>,
                        and <ref target="http://republicofletters.stanford.edu/">http://republicofletters.stanford.edu/</ref>.</note> However, it does
                    not go as far as some may hope. While it improves access, this access is limited
                    – for average users – to viewing letters as HTML files via the web interface. It
                    is not possible to extract or download collections of letters or metadata
                    (without resorting to scrapping). This makes questions around text encoding and
                    formatting inconsequential, and limits the ability to perform any type of
                    quantitative analysis of the data – both on-the-fly and offline. Thus, EE, in an
                    interesting way, straddles this quantitative shift. The content it provides is
                    traditional, yet digitally augmented; scholarly edited and annotated collections
                    of niche information, which have been meticulously edited, contextual
                    information added, and made easy to find and read.<note xml:id="ftn16">Evrigenis’ “Digital Tools and the History of Political Thought: The Case of
                        Jean Bodin” offers some clear reflections on the potential of digital
                        editions, with particular reference to the history of political thought, of
                        which EE may be seen as a good example.</note> Therefore, if we think of
                    digital text collections as doing two things – providing access to data, and
                    allowing users to create meaning from that data via emerging digital methods –
                    EE does the former incredibly well, but it does not provide, or at least, does
                    not easily provide, users access to the data which would allow them to engage in
                    the latter. </p>
            <p xml:id="p12">It should be noted, however, that these limitations may be due to
                    the sources used to build the collection. That is to say, any lack of access to
                    raw data is likely to be a result of licensing agreements made by EE to gain
                    access to high-quality sources, and/or the need to keep data behind a paywall to
                    continue the projects expansion – both of which are qualities which are
                    essential to making it the valuable resource which it is. Nonetheless, from the
                    user’s perspective, there is gatekeeping taking place.</p>
            <p xml:id="p13">To conclude, as a standalone platform and historical archive, EE is
                    an invaluable resource to scholars working on the many authors, topics, and eras
                    covered – it is a primary source collection of exceptional scholarly quality. It
                    is a robust, and ever growing, collection, with impressive annotations,
                    supplemental contextual information, and metadata. While contributions to the
                    digital-end of digital scholarship are limited, this may be, as noted, a result
                    of the collection’s source material. On the whole, it is an exciting and
                    valuable resource that will continue to make positive contributions to
                    scholarship in the areas it covers.</p>
