DIGITAL LITERARY ANNOTATION NEWSLETTER NO. 03 (DECEMBER 2016)

TEASYS – NEWS
In the context of the seminar “Annotating Shakespeare” we are using  
TEASys to annotate selected sonnets by William Shakespeare (23, 27,  
81, 86, 97, 148). We try to reflect on the processes of writing  
explanatory annotations that take into account readerly needs as well  
as the wealth in existing annotations. Writing annotations offers a  
new approach to teaching literature as it combines the practice of  
close reading, empirical research and of critically evaluating  
secondary literature.

The ANNOTATED WEB EDITION DIRECTORY is looking forward to your  
suggestions. We are always on the look-out for new entries to add to  
the list. Feel free to recommend literary digital editions that  
include explanatory annotation (of the social or the editorial kind),  
web platforms, tools and applications that enable the user to  
(collaboratively) annotate texts. Please use the corresponding form[1]  
on our webpage. We thank you for your help.
