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.
