About the Project
The Shakespeare in Canada project focusses on the intersection of pedagogy, research, and digital humanities and involves students registered in Shakespeare courses (ENG 3133 Elizabethan Shakespeare; ENG 3134 Jacobean Shakespeare; and ENG 4142 a fourth-year seminar course, “How Shakespeare Became ‘Shakespeare’”). It will begin the process of the systematic recording and subsequent analysis of the reception of Shakespeare in Canada, creating an interactive cultural map of the presence of this classic and the way in which his works have shaped -- and continue to shape -- Canadian culture. The project will harvest data, synthesize knowledge, forge new relationships, and make available findings in an open access format. At the heart of the project is the analysis of the place (both literally and metaphorically) of the classic in our contemporary, digital age.
