Here are two significant posts for Language and Literacy educators recently, concerning 21st century attempts to recreate experiences in 17th century England. First is the award-winning virtual world of pre-Great Fire London from Leichester’s De Montfort University: Pudding Lane Production.
Next, British linguist David Crystal and his son Ben present their research into the Original Pronunciation of Shakespeare’s plays, courtesy of Open Culture: What Shakespeare sounded like… to authenticate the experience of seeing a 17th century play in modern times.
