Rory Loughlane, University of Kent,(1) Editing Shakespeare in the Digital Age (2) Studies in Early Modern Authorship and Attribution


1) Editing Shakespeare and Others in the Digital Age This workshop included an opening interactive lecture, followed by practical editing tasks, and a troubleshooting session on editorial mandates and objectives. Students were guided to look at the sorts of considerations, both practical and theoretical, involved in proposing and undertaking a new edition of an early modern author. (2) Studies in Early Modern Authorship and Attribution This workshop focused on the eighty or so surviving extant co-authored plays from early modern English professional theatre (1576-1642) and looked at the sorts of modern attribution tools deployed in stylometry to distinguish one author from another. In doing so, the current state-of-play in attribution studies about the Shakespeare canon was considered. The workshop also involved discussion about the nature and practice of both amateur and professional authorship in early modern England.
