In the past
I’ve posted about art inspired by Shakespeare:
http://schatjesshelves.blogspot.ca/2016/07/shakespeare-in-art.html. Today, I thought I’d write about a new
digital archive which includes over 3,000 Victorian illustrations of The Bard’s
plays. The Victorian Illustrated Shakespeare Archive is the PhD project of
Michael Goodman, a doctoral candidate in Digital Humanities at Cardiff
University. Goodman’s site hosts over 3,000
illustrations taken from four major UK editions of Shakespeare’s Complete Works
published in the mid-19th century. The
illustrations are organized for easy access.
See the
archive at https://shakespeareillustration.org/
to see how the plays communicated differently to various Victorian artists.
