Core Aims of the Project
The major aims of the project are:
-
to produce a site of the highest scholarly quality, encouraging increased access to and understanding of Wordsworth's draft materials.
-
to draw upon the excellence of the Cornell series using electronic media to enlarge access to those materials.
-
to create an accessible site capable of being used in different ways by specialists, non-specialists and schools.
-
to advance the application of text-encoding (TEI) and a dynamic database for literary documents and manuscript materials.
-
to consider some of the issues and difficulties that would be involved in undertaking a major electronic project for the larger body of Wordsworth's manuscripts.
