London’s Tempe: Acknowledgements

Para1This edition has had quite a journey that warrants several acknowledgements. It began as part of a directed reading course at the University of Guelph with Paul Mulholland, who kindly offered to train me in editorial practice during the summer months of 2010. Those days spent in Massey Hall remain some of my most fond memories of grad school, and I am thankful for the time, patience, and lessons Paul offered me during that time. Years later, I returned to the work for a course taught by Diane Jakacki at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute in Victoria, which introduced me to TEI, digital editing, and my later collaborator and friend Janelle Jenstad, who encouraged that I pursue this work further. Prior to joining the MoEML and LEMDO teams, I submitted my edition of this mayoral show to MoEML for their consideration. I am grateful to the two anonymous reviewers for their feedback, which has helped improve the edition. I have also benefitted from conversations and feedback from seminar participants in Zachary Lesser and Brandi Adam’s Shakespeare Association of America online seminar in 2021, so I thank the seminar leaders and participants for their suggestions. Throughout the process, I have benefitted from three support networks: my wonderful teams at the University of Victoria (MoEML and LEMDO) from project leads to research assistants, all of whom I have learned from in some way; my colleagues and students at Medicine Hat College and the University of Guelph, especially those who took an interest in mayoral shows or at the very least took the time to listen to me speak about them; and my human, feline, and canine family, especially Katie. Any errors that remain are my own.
