Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 316. Tuesday, 3 Dec 1991. Date: Tue, 3 Dec 1991 10:24:00 -0500 From: John D. Cox <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Subject: Bevington text on line I just received the following note (hard copy) from David Bevington: "Just to report that the idea of putting the new HarperCollins Shakespeare on disk seems to be back on track. I was sure it was cancelled, but no, I got a phone call. One can't predict for sure it will happen, but it is now a lively enough prospect that you might correct on your network the negative impression I gave you last month. At present the plan is just to put the whole book--notes, introductions, and all--on disk. There was a fancier option of software with windows and all but quite possibly not worth the cost. If anyone has an opinion on that I'd be grateful and will pass any reactions on to HarperCollins." No indication of cost, accessibility, copyright, etc., as you can see. For what it's worth. The HarperCollins editor for the Bevington text is Lisa Moore, but I haven't contacted her for more information. John D. Cox COX@HOPE

You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Subject: 2.0312 Q: Shakespearean Graphics Files? Comment: RE: SHK 2.0312 Q: Shakespearean Graphics Files? There's a HyperCard stack (Mac only) called "Shakespeare's Life and Times," from Intellimation, P.O. Box 1922, Santa Barbara, CA 93116-1922, 805-968-2291. The stack contains enormous amounts of graphic material: title pages, etchings, reproductions of paintings and photographs. The stack covers eight disks and requires a hard disk for proper operation. While there is a copyright notice on the graphics, it might be possible to work out an arrangement with the company, and also an arrangement with a friendly Mac person to cut and paste the desired graphics into an IBM-compatible format. The stack itself, by the way, is an interesting survey of the life and times. It's easy to start exploring one issue and end up down some distant path in a completely different topic -- by choice, not by accident. It encourages browsing and grazing, which is one of the points of hypertext. Tad DavisThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
