Shakespeare and Information Technology
A Collection of Essays for a Special Edition of _College Literature_
This collection will explore the ways in which Shakespeare connects with
various forms of information technology. A number of scholarly pursuits,
including book and print histories, performance and film studies, and
multimedia/digitization projects are currently examining the ways in which
Shakespeare's plays and poetry migrate across various media. How have
these forms of media influenced (or been influenced by) the bard? What
role has this technology played in the creation and maintenance of
Shakespeare's place in our culture? The collection will highlight the role
that information technology has played in the transmission of
Shakespeare's work and what that work has to offer our changing
information landscape.
Possible topics might include:
* Digitizing Shakespeare
* Shakespeare on the World Wide Web
* Renaissance printing practices
* Performing Shakespeare
* The Early Modern book trade
