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

TEASYS – NEWS

The Annotating Literature groups have met for their second block  
session and are busy writing their annotations in the current summer  
heat. We hope that you are enjoying the sun, wherever you are, and  
were reminded of the annotations on the “heat o’ the day” for  
Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poem “Work”. Would you like to find out,  
how the speaker of the poem envisions work in the heat? Then visit the  
poem on our TEASys website[1] and see for yourself.

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

The Annotated Web Edition Directory[2] 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.
