This document is part of an edition of Emily Dickinson's unbound poems, prose, and fragments.

Encoding Principles

This document is part of a scholarly electronic edition of Emily Dickinson's unbound poems, prose, and fragments encoded in a TEI-based XML DTD with images and transcriptions of her original manuscripts; it is part of a larger project to create a web-deliverable archive of Dickinson-related resources.

The DTD was compiled as follows: the TEI mixed base (prose and verse) with added tagsets for linking, figures, analysis, certainty, transcription, corpora, names.dates, and textcrit. The MASTER project's manuscript description tagset is utilized with some modifications. Also, two new tags created: ps and ml/.

Standard date values are given, when possible, in ISO form: yyyy-mm-dd.

Main text follows manuscript; correction and normalization done in tags. Text retains quotation marks in manuscript in data form. All original end-of-line hyphenation has been retained; regularization of broken words done in tags.

As most manuscripts are untitled, they are identified in the header in two ways:

• reference to catalogue number and electronic version number
• textual description based on first line or lines of document

In rare instance that author provides a poem title, it will be marked as a head in the text.

Content mark-up includes names of people, places, and organizations, emphasized and foreign words, shifts in font style. Names are regularized in tags. Abbreviations are expanded in tags, if necessary.
