As EEBO has images of every book printed in England before 1700, it offers students studying Shakespeare the opportunity to look at both the quarto and Folio editions of his plays. By using EEBO to look at different editions of the same play we can start to think about the decisions made by editors when confronted with this dilemma of choice. Which version is best? We can also think about why these differences occur.

At Level 3 (final year), in 2003 Rhian Davies embarked with Claire Allam (a Producer from the Learning and Teaching Services department of the University of Sheffield) upon the formidable challenge of getting students to select sequences from two of Galdós's works that exist in both novel and play form and turning them into films. Teaching Galdos's work with film is a fascinatingly stimulating experience and it is certainly something that the students enjoy. As well as gaining valuable employability skills (in problem solving, team building, project management etc.) through the filmmaking process, in producing their own film versions, students come to engage closely with the works and have a lot of fun in the process. This film is a portrayal of Realidad's Frederico as a drug addict and thus contains explicit images of drug use and suicide.
