This article considers the challenges and opportunities associated with the production and reception of electronic editions of Renaissance drama. Chief amongst these challenges are the long shadows cast by the cultural, scholarly, and economic investments in Shakespeare, and the institutions, conventions, and scholarly status of print publishing. This article argues that electronic editions force us to rethink existing publishing models and notions of scholarship, to recognize that digitizing primary materials alone is no substitute for critical editions, and to acknowledge that, despite the challenges associated with them, electronic editions will play a far greater role in expanding the canon of Renaissance drama as taught, studied, and performed than their print counterparts
