Teaching an old bard new tricks: Shakespeare Interactive Archive

Abstract

The Shakespeare Interactive Archive is the rather unassuming name of a multimedia project whose ambition is to be a model for the future in Shakespearian studies. Its creator, Peter Donaldson, Professor of Literature, envisions this computer-based project as a comprehensive, international archive that networks as many libraries and resources as possible. Textual, visual, and moving image files would all be linked.
