Critically acclaimed educational publisher Gleeditions LLC has just launched its highly anticipated digital literary product line at Gleeditions.com (GLEE-dishuns). The culmination of years of hard work by dedicated scholars and innovative IT professionals, Guided Literary Etext Editions are a groundbreaking way to engage with classic texts.
Starting with three popular favorites—William Shakespeare’s Macbeth and The Tempest, and Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn—the site’s content, rich literary editions, are designed to promote close reading and critical thinking skills. Each interactive Gleedition features an acclaimed edition of the primary text, plus:
• Comprehensive, original annotations for Plot, Setting, Character, Vocabulary, Themes/Issues, Style, and Voice/Point of View
• Background in Brief contextual information—both historical and literary–
including maps, timelines, family trees, performance history (when applicable)
• Hyperlinked Index and Glossary, as well as Key-Word Search function
• Vivid imagery from celebrated sources (e.g., Royal Shakespeare Company)
This eco-friendly alternative to traditional texts is also extremely cost-effective and practical. At only $9.95 per month and accessible from any computer or WiFi-enabled device, Gleeditions are like getting seven texts in one—for a fraction of the price. “This is terrific work . . . very easy to use, clear, and deeply informed,” says Professor James Kincaid of USC.
