Willard

A recently published and incisive essay gives one the opportunity to contemplate the boundaries of the electronic edition...

[quote]
Three digital games adapting canon-ical literary texts are discussed to demonstrate the possibilities of the ludic edition:  Walden, a game  (2017), Elsinore (2019) and 80 Days (2014).  The essay concludes with a call for digital scholarly editors to take a more prominent role in the creation of ludic editions lest a new form of digital edition develop that does not have a place in digital humanities scholarship.

It’s a short read with examples chosen with care as to demonstrating the range and flexibility of ludic editions.
