Solum's Originalism Primer

Those wishing for a panorama of the history of originalism in constitutional interpretation and an overview of contemporary originalist debates would benefit greatly from taking a look at Larry Solum's excellent draft chapter on the subject.  Solum lays out crisply the major currents and cross-currents.  May I also highly recommend Steve Smith's terrific piece, which (as always with Steve's work) has deeply influenced some of my own views on the subject.
