I was asked to present "Bringing Shakespeare into the Digital Age" last month. I conducted research to compile Internet resources and created this web page for my presentation. The teachers in my workshop told me that the resources were extremely useful.They especially enjoyed the Internet search tips, skills, strategies exercise and the lesson plan http://euphrates.wpunj.edu/courses/ciee516/searching.htmThe teachers said that they usually type "Shakespeare" in one of the search engines and end up getting millions of hits, then give up the search after a few minutes. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=243697 This archive constitutes a resource for studying the literary history of popular British and American poetry. Much of it composed during what can be called the “bull market” of poetry’s popularity(1), late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century popular poetry was often written in what came to be desginated an "effeminate" style, whether written by men or women. Writings in the poetess tradition were disseminated in myriad collections: miscellanies, beauties, literary annuals, gift books. They achieved a place of prominence in virtually every middle-class household. The Poetess Archive Database now contains a bibliography of over 4,000 entries for works by and about writers working in and against the “poetess tradition,” the extraordinarily popular, but much criticized, flowery poetry written in Britain and America between 1750 and 1900. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89287 A website about teaching Shakespeare to University Students at introductory, advanced and graduate level combining reading, viewing and performing.
