Home page: https://diged.org/RomanticsTextBook/
For instructors: https://diged.org/RomanticsTextBook/instructors.html
This digital textbook of Romantic Era Writers created by college students as their own course textbook offers three things:
(for digital creators): templates are provided here so that you and your students can create your own digital textbook and/or contribute to this one.
(for Romanticists): it provides a kind of table of contents to amazing scholarly content in the field that is freely available online. You may discover research and teaching materials you didn’t know about to add to your list of resources available to your students for free.
(for learning digital reading methods): this textbook introduces students and instructors to digital tools and methods of analysis, especially Voyant. While exploring Romantic literature, you will find instructions for using and embedding digital tools in your own work and (digital) publications. For example, Mary Shelley’s Digital Lab introduces Voyant Tools, providing an introductory how-to PowerPoint presentation and many other examples.
(for students of all ages): ideally, it unleashes your creativity – perhaps in coding, perhaps in collaborating on a project team. Maybe seeing comments by your peers in hypothes.is, for example, will inspire you to start or join a conversation.
