This is an experiment undertaken by members of DH 720 at the CUNY Graduate Center in Fall 2018. The course is called “Doing Things with Novels,” and here we are transforming Nella Larsen’s novellas, Passing and Quicksand,using the Ivanhoe concept originated at the University of Virginia by Jerome McGann and Johanna Drucker, et al., in the early 2000s. We are using the Ivanhoe theme for WordPress created recently at UVAs Scholars Lab.
