The Two Angry Women of Abington, 1599 (Classic Reprint)
Author: Henry Porter
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781331929482
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Excerpt from The Two Angry Women of Abington, 1599 No trace of the Two Angry Women has been found in the Register of the Stationers' Company, though there is nothing in the two editions which appeared with the date 1599 to suggest that the publication was surreptitious. Of these editions, which the ornaments show to have been both printed by Edward Allde, one purports to be published by William Ferrand, the other by Joseph Hunt and William Ferrand together, though only Firebrand's address is given. The latter was just starting in business, his first book having been entered in the Register on 3 May 1598. Typographical evidence is conclusive as to the edition bearing both names being the earlier, and since no other connexion between the two men is recorded it is legitimate to surmise that Hunts name only appears in acknowledgement of some rights claimed in the copy. The texts of the two editions do not differ very much. In the second the addition at 1. 2089 was clearly made by some one who had read the play; this, however, is made up for by the bodily omission of 1. 2096. Otherwise such corrections as are found may well have been the work of the compositor, while a plentiful crop of fresh errors appears. Altogether there seems no reason for selecting the second edition as the basis of a text, as is done by C. M. Gayley in his Representative English Comedies. Both editions are in quarto and both are printed in the same fount of roman type approximating in size to modern pica (20 11 = 82 mm.).

Collaborative Research in the Digital Humanities
Author: Willard McCarty
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317164385
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Collaboration within digital humanities is both a pertinent and a pressing topic as the traditional mode of the humanist, working alone in his or her study, is supplemented by explicitly co-operative, interdependent and collaborative research. This is particularly true where computational methods are employed in large-scale digital humanities projects. This book, which celebrates the contributions of Harold Short to this field, presents fourteen essays by leading authors in the digital humanities. It addresses several issues of collaboration, from the multiple perspectives of institutions, projects and individual researchers.

This edition celebrates King Henry VI Part 2 as one of the most exciting and dynamic plays of the English renaissance theatre, with its exploration of power politics and social revolution and its focus on the relationship between divine justice and sin.
