The University of Virginia received a $303,104 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities to develop Literature in Context, an open digital anthology of English language literature from 1400 to 1925. The grant was awarded under the Promotion of the Humanities Office of Digital Humanities program (CFDA 45.169), which supports innovative humanities projects utilizing digital technologies.
Literature in Context will be a TEI-encoded, openly accessible digital resource for students, educators, and the general public. It will incorporate full-text works, digitized page images from original editions, and additional contextual materials. This comprehensive anthology aims to serve as a cost-effective replacement for print anthologies commonly used in American and British literature survey courses globally. By taking advantage of digitization, the project innovates through interactivity and enriched context not possible in print formats. Completion is scheduled for December 2025.
