blog  Seminar: Tagore digital editions and Bengali textual computing.

Oct 2011

Professor Sukanta Chaudhuri gave a very interesting talk yesterday on the scope, methods, and aims of 'Bichitra' (literally, 'the various'), the ongoing project for an online variorum edition of the complete works of Rabindranath Tagore in English and Bengali. The talk (part of this year's DDH research seminar) highlighted a number of issues I wasn't very familiar with, so in this post I'm summarizing them and then offering a couple of possible suggestions.
