English whileknowing little or nothing about traditional
scholarly methods. The consequencesof this neglect of
traditional scholarship are particularly unfortunate for the
(5) study of women writers. Ifthe canon(—thelist of authors

more women, scholars must be well trained in historical
scholarship and textual editing. Scholars who do not know
how to read early manuscripts, locate rare books, establish
(10)asequence of editions, and so on are bereft of crucial tools
for revising the canon.
To address such concerns, an experimental version of
2P:Solution
the traditional scholarly methods course was designed to
raise students' consciousness about the usefulness of
(15)traditional learning forany modern critic or theorist. To
minimize the artificial aspects of the conventional course,
the usual procedure of assigning a largenumber of small
problems drawn from the entire range of historical periods
was abandoned, though this procedure has theobvious

(20)advantage of at leastsuperficially familiarizing students

were engaged in a collective effort to do original work on
a neglected eighteenth-century writer, Elizabeth Griffith, to

give them an authentic experience of literary scholarship
(25)and toinspire them to take responsibility for the quality of
their own work.
Griffith's work presented anumber of advantagesfor
this particular pedagogical purpose. First, the body of
extant scholarship on Griffith was so tiny that it could all
(30)be readin a day; thus students spent little time and effort
mastering the literature and had a clear field for their own
discoveries. Griffith's play The Platonic Wife exists in three
versions, enough to provide illustrations of editorial issues
but not too many for beginning students to manage. In addi-
(35)tion, because Griffith was successful in the eighteenth cen-
tury, as hercontinued productivity and favorable reviews
demonstrate, her exclusion from the canonand virtual dis-
appearance from literary history also helped raise issues
concerning the current canon.

The range ofGriffith's work meantthat each student
could become the world's leading authority on a particular
Griffith text. Forexample, a student studying Griffith's

studied it forsome weeks. This student was suitably
(45)shocked and outraged to find itstitle transformed into A
Wife in the Night
in Watt's Bibliotheca Britannica. Such
experiences, inevitable and common in working on a writer
to whom so littleattention has been paid, serve to vaccinate
the student ---I hope for a lifetime—against credulous use
of referencesources.
