Digital Shakespeare, or towards a literary informatics

Abstract

Medieval monks divided the Bible into an inventory of its parts as an aid to fallible human memory. Digital technology enables much more radical applications of this divide-and-conquer strategy. I discuss the potential of these new developments as well as the resistance to them, using Shakespeare as a model case.
