The site leverages the flexibility of hypertext interactivity to incorporate clickable glosses directly into the text, while also actively revealing and clarifying the syntactical rearrangements that can make Shakespeare\u2019s language so difficult for the modern reader.<br>\n<br>\nThe goal is to produce an alternative to currently available online Shakespeare texts: those that use cumbersome marginal or endnote glosses to explain the original language on the one hand, and complete translations into modern English, such as the <i>No Fear Shakespeare<\/i> editions, on the other.  By presenting an original-language version of the plays that removes many of the usability barriers posed by traditional annotation, the Dynamic OER Shakespeare seeks to make the poetry of Shakespeare\u2019s works accessible to as broad an audience as possible.<br>\n<br>\n<b>About the Editor<\/b><br>\nMatthew Stokes is the creator and editor of the Dynamic OER Shakespeare. He holds a doctorate from Boston University, where his research focused on bearbaiting in early modern England and its intersections with Shakespeare\u2019s stage. He has over fifteen years of experience in teaching Shakespeare in a variety of different college settings. Matthew currently teaches at Bergen Community College and New York University.  \n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/oershakespeare.net\/\">Dynamic OER Shakespeare Sample Passage<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interactive Text Editor About the Dynamic OER Shakespeare The Dynamic OER Shakespeare is a project to create an OER edition of Shakespeare\u2019s plays that will allow their original language to be experienced and understood across a wide range of reading levels.
