A canon of Shakespeare on screen?

Permalink for this paragraph 0 This just in from Luke McKernan: John Wyver, at the Illuminations Media blog, has begun a big picture conversation that is worth weighing in on, hoping to establish a canon of Shakespeare’s works on screen. He invites all to join in.
Permalink for this paragraph 0 I’ve posted some queries about the underlying assumptions behind this idea in my comments to the post. It prompts some larger thoughts for me about the opportunities for crowd-sourcing in our field and our potential platforms for broaching it. That’s for another post.
Katherine,
I’ve posted a response to your welcome and provocative comments in a new post here on the Illuminations blog. I’m delighted by your response, even if I think you’ve conflated what I saw as two separate projects. And you’ve introduced the idea of a third — a crowd-sourced CW — that I find extremely intriguing, and that I’d love to discuss further.
You mention in para 2 that you’ll return to the opportunities of crowd-sourcing in Shakespeare studies, and I really look forward to your further thoughts.
John Wyver
