This dataset represents my work to interpret the variances between the two published editions of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas as described in Martin Paul Eve, '"You have to keep track of your changes": The Version Variants and Publishing History of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas', Open Library of Humanities, 2(1), http://dx.doi.org/10.16995/olh.82. It was created through a hermeneutic process of cross-comparing the different texts and then marked-up in JSON by hand. Potential re-uses include corrections, further visualization, digital-humanities teaching, and structural analysis.
