Shakespeare Quartos Archive opens
By Paul Biba
The Shakespeare Quartos Archive expands the British Library’s "Shakespeare in Quarto" website into an online collection reproducing at least one copy of every edition of William Shakespeare’s plays printed in quarto before the theatres closed in 1642. Joined to this resource is a prototype of an interactive interface and toolset aimed at facilitating scholarly research, performance studies, and new pedagogical applications derived from detailed examination and comparison of the quartos. Tools and functions include the ability to:
overlay text images
compare images side-by-side
search full-text
mark and tag text images with user annotations
create public or private sets of annotations
create exhibits or character cue line lists, and
download and print text and images
