Chronology of Shakespeare's Works

[rgrp]

Potential sources:

•  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_Shakespeare_plays
  • unfortunately this is GFDL (which we won't/can't use) though maybe the data is ok
  • but following a bunch of links takes us to:
• EB 11th ed: (see ticket:24)
  •  p.777 gives a chronology along with notes
•  http://www.dlhoffman.com/publiclibrary/Shakespeare/by-year.html
  • base page has copyright but since a source is referenced probably this info is not covered ('This list is based on the scholarship of Stanley Wells and Gary Taylor, who prepared the Oxford edition of the complete works. I have included a note about the date -- sometimes Wells and Taylor's estimate, other times a fact that helps pinpoint the date.')

First, since a list of Shakespeare's plays with dates (1) would have first been compiled in the 1600s (is it in the Folio?); and (2) the compilation of such isn't a creative process; wouldn't any claims to copyright over such a list (assuming no notes or annotations were added) be void?

Second, has formatting been discussed? I'd compile this but have no idea how this information should be laid out.

This is done as a weavinghistory timeline:  http://weavinghistory.org/thread/read/285c428c-c5c8-4c88-b7c9-2a085ee68e64 based on wikipedia info.

Need to find a way to integrate it into OS site.

Closing and moving integration to new ticket:65
