TC Digital Humanities on MLA Commons 10 years, 3 months agoIf you work in a university, you are almost certain to have heard the term ‘open access’ in the past couple of years.

Alan Lopez deposited "Pericles’ "rough and woeful music”' in the group
Methods of Literary Research on MLA Commons 10 years, 6 months agoIn this essay, I argue for the benefits of Suzanne Gossett’s reading of Pericles over the Oxford’s 1986 reconstructed Pericles, looking specifically at Act 3, Scenes 1 and 2. Gossett argues that Cerimon’s “rough and woeful music” is not a scribal error in the quarto, a doubling of Cerimon’s “rough” in 3.2.78-79, but perhaps intentional on…[Read more]
