Textual Studies is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the analysis, interpretation, and understanding of texts. This includes a wide range of materials, such as literature, historical documents, and digital media. Scholars in this field examine the language, structure, and context of texts to uncover their meanings and significance.
The discipline often incorporates methods from literary criticism, linguistics, and cultural studies. By studying how texts are produced, circulated, and received, researchers can gain insights into the social and cultural dynamics of different time periods. Textual Studies also explores issues of authorship, authenticity, and the impact of technology on textual creation.
