hi! ill make this fast coz i know you all probably have better things to do then answer this but i was just wondering, when the syllabus refers to textual integrity, does it mean of King Lear, or of the particular readng of KL? and if its the former, does this make sense: "blahblahblah has helped it to maintain textual integrity throughout the years".. (the question i have with that sentence is whether a text either has or has not got textual integrity and this remains constant, or whether textual integrity is something that can be changed over time i.e. something could have text. integrity in the 1600s but not now)

thanks guys!

well, from my understanding a text has textual intergrity when independant of the context the messages that it hold are universal, so a text either has textual intergrity, or it doesn't (aah, beautiful binary)

If a text loses its textual integrity, it never really had it to begin with. that would be like saying someone is immortal until they die
