This ongoing research project is aimed at completing a contracted edition of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." Research tasks include working closely with the language of Shakespeare's text, including the glossing (defining) of its words and phrases, investigations relating to its performance history (stage and film alike), and careful proofing of critical prose from the editor's Introduction. Student researchers will be introduced to various protocols and strategies in search engines dedicated to early modern (1500-1700) texts and their language.
