  How can digital resources and tools be used to improve student engagement and learning in their study of Shakespeare? What solutions can digital approaches offer to some of the key challenges for higher education today -- including improving digital literacy, issues of diversity, equity and inclusion, and teaching in hybrid, distance and online learning environments? What are the limitations and obstacles faced by instructors in the use of new technologies in the classroom?These are just some of the questions addressed by Shakespeare and Digital Pedagogy -- an international collection of fresh digital approaches for teaching Shakespeare to undergraduates. It describes 16 methodologies, resources and tools recently developed, updated and used by a diverse range of contributors in Great Britain, Asia and the United States. Contributors explore how these digital resources meet classroom needs and help facilitate conversations about academic literacy, race and identity, local and global cultures, performance, and interdisciplinary thought. Chapters describe each case study in depth, recounting needs, collaborations and challenges during design, as well as sharing effective classroom uses and offering accessible, usable content for both teachers and learners.The book will appeal to a broad range of readers. College and high school instructors will find a rich trove of usable teaching content and suggestions for mounting digital units in the classroom, while Digital Humanities and education specialists will find a snapshot of and theories about the field itself. With access to exciting new content from local archives and global networks and global networks, the collection aids teaching, research, and reflection on Shakespeare for the 21st century.https://books.google.com/books?id=bsZKEAAAQBAJ&pg=PT66&lpg=PT66&dq=digital+pedagogies+shakespeare+kyle+diroberto&source=bl&ots=irzcnMkEdy&sig=ACfU3U10ozc4qw0fyxuF59-RoFkLfwJq_A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjXvYyv68r0AhWuLTQIHQFCAC8Q6AF6BAgOEAI#v=onepage&q=digital%20pedagogies%20shakespeare%20kyle%20diroberto&f=false

  Queen Elizabeth became an icon of feminine agency in the plays of John Lyly, who provided an alternate narrative to Philip Sidney's allegorical representations of the Queen in The Lady of May and The Arcadia. Lyly's ruler is a passionate, charismatic, and often gender ambiguous. In this way, Lyly represents feminine sexuality in a remarkably liberal light and even goes so far as to rewrite Ovid (Sapho and Phao being a revision of Ovid's Heroines). Also in contrast with Sidney, he suggests that women are eminently capable of self-government. This paper argues that Lyly’s early dramatic work influenced many of the "university wits", especially Robert Greene, as is evident in Greene's radical rewriting of Orlando Furioso, in which Greene suggests that love does not cause Orlando’s madness, masculine competition, and manipulation do. Likewise, The Comical History of Alphonsus King of Aragon, incorporates figures like Medea, Iphigenia, and the Queen of the Amazons, revealing Greene was likewise inspired to a radical critique of patriarchy, and his plays were also very similar to the more radically feminist works of Lyly’s such as Galatea.
