Why is Shakespeare so often associated with information
technologies and with the idea of archiving itself? Alan Galey
explores this question through the entwined histories of
Shakespearean texts and archival technologies over the past four
centuries. In chapters dealing with the archive, the book,
photography, sound, information, and data, Galey analyses how
Shakespeare became prototypical material for publishing
experiments, and new media projects, as well as for theories of
archiving and computing. Analysing examples of the Shakespearean
archive from the seventeenth century to today, he takes an original
approach to Shakespeare and new media that will be of interest to
scholars of the digital humanities, Shakespeare studies, archives,
and media history. Rejecting the idea that current forms of
computing are the result of technical forces beyond the scope of
humanist inquiry, this book instead offers a critical prehistory of
digitisation read through the afterlives of Shakespeare's texts.
