Ernst Tollers Briefe in digitaler Edition

Abstract

In connection with the publication of the annotated works of Ernst Toller in 2015, the annotated edition of Ernst Toller’s letters was published in both online and print formats in 2018 in order to meet the needs of diverse research interests and users. To produce this highly anticipated edition in hybrid form, MS Word documents were created, converted to TEI XML, and built into a web interface. A particular emphasis was placed on usability in designing the web interface, since the online edition is intended not only for a scholarly audience, but also as a means of communicating the literature and culture of Toller and his context to a broader public.
