CSE Approved Editions
The committee recognizes that it was founded with a narrow definition of textual criticism, one implicitly and explicitly designed to restrict the canon of scholarly editions. Currently, the committee is dedicated to confronting and redressing this legacy. We seek, in particular, to review editions that will help rectify the historical underrepresentation of racial, ethnic, gender, and linguistic diversity in the list of publications that receive the seal of the MLA Committee on Scholarly Editions.
Approved editions display the committee's seal. Several designs have been used over the years. The seal shown below was adopted by the committee in October 2022.
