Trade ReviewTo read this volume is to encounter the richly generative creativity and expansive pedagogical imagination of scholar-teachers who have gathered at the nexus of Shakespeare and Digital Pedagogy. Carefully curated by Henderson and Vitale, the essays collected here provide inspiring case studies and generalizable strategies of wide interest to literary scholars and practitioners in educational development. The volume illuminates the many affordances of digital technologies in the classroom (physical and virtual) while asserting the winning claim that Shakespearean pedagogies are at their best when active, co-creative, and fully inclusive—indeed, one of the advantages of digital technology is the potential to diminish hierarchies of power and inspire co-creative action as a path to meaningful and persistent interpretation. The volume will be warmly welcomed and widely embraced. -- Elliott Visconsi, University of Notre Dame, USA
