Underway since 2011, the NEH-sponsored Digital Yoknapatawpha project is a collaboration of over two dozen Faulkner scholars from around the country and the world and a team of technologists at the University of Virginia. It is being designed to provide new modes of exploring and appreciating all the fictions that Faulkner set in his mythical county. At this presentation we’ll showcase the current state of the project, with special emphasis on its usefulness as both a scholarly and a pedagogical resource. We’ll display how it works, how it can assist with critical research, and how it can help teachers and students in the classroom. We also hope to enlist some additional collaborators, especially teachers who are willing to try it in their own classrooms. We’re anxious to learn how it works with real users as we continue to develop it
