Field notes
The project distinguishes what a biography presents from what it cannot establish: it says the texts do not measure competence, reveal writers’ intentions, or show audience response. Its method also leaves room for alternative readings and notes that programme format affects what can be observed. The homepage identifies the work as version 0.1 and says corrections are recorded in Updates.
