	abstract = {This article addresses the use of Early English Books Online (EEBO) as a way of conducting research on responses to historical texts and locating contemporary references to a work through the case study of George Sandy{\textquoteright}s A Relation of a Iourney begun An: Dom: 1610 (1615). Although Anders Ingram acknowledges the many limitations of EEBO, such as poor image quality and the absence of the material book, he also demonstrates the possibilities that EEBO offers. For example, since the researcher is distanced from the material form of the historical source, this allows them to reveal hitherto unseen connections between the different sources of the database, as well as discover new possibilities for interpretation through the data retrieval and search systems of the digital archive. Ingram also demonstrates how EEBO complements conventional research of contemporary responses to and readings of works through the example of Relation{\textquoteright}s and how it broadens the context in which the work may be interpreted. EEBO allows researchers to explore the broad set of contexts in which the work had been cited and to delve into numerous contemporary responses to a work, an option that had been previously limited and that offers a possibility for new interpretations of literature in the early modern period. },
