First Editions
The Cather Archive currently has six first editions available in electronic format:
April Twilights (1903), The Troll Garden (1905), Alexander's Bridge (1912),
Song of the Lark (1915), Youth and the Bright Medusa (1920), and One of Ours (1922). These editions are encoded in Extensible Markup Language (XML) using the standards developed by the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) and are presented complete with digital images of every surface in the original print edition.
In the future, we hope to present twomore first editions: O Pioneers! (1913) and My
Ántonia (1918), both of which are available in the Scholarly Editions part of the Cather
Archive. Copyright restrictions prevent us from publishing digital versions of the first edition texts released after 1922.
