Project description

Open Shakespeare is a full open set of Shakespeare’s works along with ancillary material, a variety of tools, and a Python API.

We would like to work on:

  • Producing an introduction to the collection, or incorporating a pre-existing one that is in the public domain (e.g. an article in the Encyclopaedia Britannica 11th edition)
  • Creating a chronology of Shakespeare's works
  • Annotating texts
  • Other more technical tasks (e.g. producing a nice 'pdf' version of the Shakespeare texts)
