What's New on the ISE Site

April 2010

There are two important items of news: the site has been updated, with our first plays now fully edited and available, and we are introducing a new feature that will allow this site to become independent and financially sustainable, so that its content continues to be free.

Towards a sustainable site

The University of Victoria, where this site is hosted, generously provides infrastructure support -- our servers and system support. But we need funding for continual updating of content on the site, and programming to keep us current and to enhance the services we can offer you as a vistor to the site.

We have created a page from which individuals can make a donation -- small or large -- to keep the site free and open. The Internet Shakespeare Editions is a non-profit organization, and the site is run by many volunteers, so that our overheads are minimal. Learn more about how we spend the money we need to keep the site running. And we thank you for your support in visiting us.

Version 2.5 of the ISE site has been released

The latest version of the site includes a number of enhancements, especially to the Plays and Poems. Our first fully edited plays now provide popup annotations and lists of variant readings; the title pages link to full introductory essays, and a wide range of supplementary documents that assist in an understanding of the plays.

The most recent publication is the fully edited version of Julius Caesar, edited by John Cox. As with the earlier edition of As You Like It (David Bevington), the edition comes with a modern text, fully annotated, and interlinked with the original Folio, both as a searchable transcript and as a series of facsimiles.

The text also includes full introductory essays and extensive supplementary documents, including the main source Shakespeare used for the play, Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans and selections from Lucretius and Montaigne.

David Bevington's As You Like It is also available. See the modern text with full annotation and collation, introductory essays, the Folio text, and facsimiles of the Folio text.

The supporting materials include Lodge's Rosalind, Ben Jonson's Every Man In His Humor, John Lyly's Galathea, and "Gamelyn."

Soon to come: Henry IV, Part One, edited by Rose Gaby; Henry V, edited by James Mardock; Twelfth Night, edited by David Carnegie and Mark Houlahan; and The Winter's Tale, edited by Hardin Aasand.

The ISE Performance Chronicle now records reviews of current productions of Shakespeare around the world.
