Recreating Spenser: The Irish Castle of an English Poet
Abstract
This iBook showcases illustrations and subject matter taken directly
from the website Centering Spenser: a digital resource for Kilcolman
Castle, an ongoing open-access digital humanities project based at
East Carolina University.
The purpose of this iBook, like the website, is to educate the public
and academia alike about Kilcolman Castle, a late-medieval tower
house in County Cork, Ireland, at the time that it was occupied by
the (in)famous English poet and colonial administrator Edmund
Spenser (1552?-1599).
Only this Preface and Chapter 5, on Virtual Reality developments,
are original to this iBook. This book like the website is written and designed by Thomas Herron with the exception of “Modeling Methods
and Software” (Chapter 3, Section 2, below), written by Wesley
Owens.
While this iBook cannot recreate some of the features of the website,
it does offer a different (bibliographic) format for much of the website’s content and may be downloaded and read in a more convenient and/or conventional manner. A full list of contents of the website is found in Appendix 1.
