Shakespeare We are hoping that our line-indexed version of Shakespeare's Complete Works will become a teaching program of the future, used by students, classes and scholars to build concordances, take and make notes, even, perhaps, for an electronic program at Shakespeare festivals. Think how convenient it would be if you could just click on a few links to read and understand the lines that a character was speaking, no matter what the play, and no matter how your ears ached or your mind wandered. As with all our indexed works, we are offering it both as an onsite resource, accessible by anyone who is connected to the internet, and as a download of the entire folder, unmarked and unannotated, which you may keep on your computer or copy to a RW CD, and use and study whether or not you are online. Go to our Downloads Page to easily access all our current offerings. Or click here to go to the Shakespeare Indexes page and see the progress we are making the field of electronic scholarship. Don't forget to visit our newly annotated Hamlet! If you would like to learn how to annotate a work of Shakespeare's, or any other work for that matter, visit our Introduction to Electronic Scholarship page. There you will find a step-by-step how-to that will get you started down the road to the future, when ES will outshine all previous scholarly efforts. |

Ellsie Crain Ellsie Crain (Electronically Linked, Line Specific, Internet Enabled, Concordances, References, Annotations, Indexes, and Notes) must be the greatest student's and scholar's literary computer tool, yet. This is because the student and scholar can take full advantage of Cliff's Notes, Sparks Notes and other excellent electronic references, while preserving the results for themselves, either on a RW CD or their computer's C-drive. To download the Ellsie Crain texts so-far completed, go to our downloads page. |

About Reading Online - It's never been easier to read text online. This is because of the rapid advances in the development of browser technology. As every computer neophyte must know, browsers are the software that displays not only your internet servers' programs, but also any html, htm or xtml file that you happen to have on your C-drive. The most familiar browser is the IE (Internet Explorer), and this is an excellent, all-purpose browser, and will recognize links both from EC text page lines and EC note page lines. Opera, Mozilla Firefox, OB1, Netscape do not. Though they recognize the line-link from the text-line to the note-line, they return the reader to the top of the text page, when the note-page line-link is clicked. However, despite IE's many advantages (there is a great toolbar available for it, the Advanced toolbar, and one can open several instances or windows at the same time), unfortunately, it has no zoom feature for ordinary text pages, just text magnification. Text magnification does not work with entabulated text (text contained within tables). Text must be entabulated for the EC program to work, and therefore, only programs with a zoom feature can be used to magnify EC text. Opera has a zoom feature, but the return links from the EC note-page take the reader to the top of the EC text page. Only the Avant browser has both a zoom magnifier which magnifies both the text and the tables, and sends the reader from the note-page line back to the text-page line from which it was linked. Opera also does everything, and a little more, except that the back button must be used to return the reader to the line from which they clicked. Opera opens to the exact point the reader left off when resuming reading after closing down the computer. So, the Avant and Operar browsers are the best browsers of all those listed above to read EC e-text. However, if you are an EC e-text scholar, taking notes, copy-pasting definitions, etc, and want or need a magnified text, you may want to use the Opera browser, since you won't be clicking away from the text page, and the Opera browser's copy-paste feature seems to be a little more dependable than the Avant browser's copy-paste tool, at least, when the zoom is in use. Downloading any of these browser is fairly simple, and you should have at least two browsers programs on your computer. Personally, I now have six browser programs installed. Each is different enough to add interest to my browsing day. For a quick, point-by-point Browser rating, click here. |
I will be happy to respond to all inquiries.
