Abstract
In the continental Nordic countries, the relatedness of the Scandinavian languages Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, and the status of Swedish as an official language of Finland have contributed to the transnational interaction in textual scholarship and edition philology. Historically, especially the Romantic, nation-oriented thought has influenced the way in which literary archives have been assembled and organised. In the twentieth century, many extensive Scandinavian and Finnish editorial projects of canonised nineteenth-century writers have had an important impact on the availability and usability of archival sources, and have enabled academic training in the use of literary manuscripts. Thus, even the most recent trends in the study of literary drafts are historically based on the infrastructures, practices and scholarly traditions derived from Romanticism.
