Trouble getting the book...
I have been having trouble finding a modern version of this book for my research project. After hours of anger at the lack of publishing of this awesome text, I decided to periodically print out copies of the original text from the Evans database. I was not looking forward to it, but having been told the rule about the weird “s” I thought I could handle it. I was surprised how easily I adapted to reading the original text. Some parts are faded because it’s a copy, but overall I had a lot of fun reading the first chapter. The difference in printing type almost made me have to pay closer attention to the reading. When I took a Shakepeare class as an undergrad, my professor always brought copies of old texts to read to the class. I always found them really intimidating, so it was really pleasant to get out of my comfort zone here and then conquer the crazy S!

Do you know you can download as a PDF from Evans? LML
ReplyDeleteYes but I hate reading from the computer. I always need to print it out to read it. :)
