Document Summary
Excerpts from articles and books by stephen greenblatt. Within the contentious discipline of anthropology [ ] (greenblatt 1997) Shakespeare has already mastered this environment, as he once mastered the comparatively tiny world of the elizabethan theater. At internet shakespeare editions, a website that originated at the university of victoria in british columbia, readers can access old-spelling editions of all the plays and poems, along with a vast, ongoing performance chronicle"" and other resources. Global shakespeare project features an electronic archive that includes images of every page of the first folio of 1623. In the norton shakespeare, which i edit, the texts of his plays are now available not only in the massive printed book with which i was initiated but also on a digital platform. One click and you can hear each song as it might have sounded on the elizabethan stage; another click and you listen to key scenes read by a troupe of professional actors.
