DIGITAL LITERARY ANNOTATION NEWSLETTER NO. 75 (DEZEMBER 2022)

-------------------------

TEASYS – NEWS

The whole TEASys Team from Annotating Literature at the University of  
Tübingen wishes you a merry Christmas and happy and healthy New Year  
2023!
We are looking back on a year in which working with annotations has  
once again enlightened not only us, the team, but many of our  
students, helping them to engage more and more intensively with  
literary texts. An increasing number of students are interested in  
explaining and understanding literature through annotations by giving  
definitions and contextual information, referring to relevant  
research, and offering interpretations across our three active groups.  
We are looking forward to welcoming new students in the project next  
year and having as inspiring exchanges with other interested  
researchers as we have had this year.

-------------------------

The Annotated Web Edition Directory[1] 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 on  
our webpage. We thank you for your help.
