In the coming months, Digital Paxton will gain two additional kinds of paths: the first will highlight intertextuality, with regards to edition changes and exchanges between Paxton critics and apologists; the second, will present Keywords through which to contextualize those debates.

For example, a keyword entry for "security" might begin by historicizing the term (what did security mean to Pennsylvania colonists in the late-eighteenth century?) before surfacing various usages in pamphlets and pages spanning the Digital Paxton corpus (e.g. pages 30-31 in Benjamin Franklin's "Narrative"; page 10 in Hugh Williamson's "Plain Dealer"; page 16 in Thomas Barton's "Conduct," pages 12-13).

While we welcome keywords related to "materiality," "hospitality," "settlement," "masculinity," and "race," we will allow Paxton historians and literary scholars to determine the collection of Keyword paths.
