Early Modern Religious Controversy The Reign of
William III Mary II

Document Types
  • Royal proclamations/official reports
  • Commissioned poetry and dramas, works by authors
    canonical today
  • Popular/ephemeral literature

4
People
  • Well-known and fully documented figures, easily
    integrated with WorldCat Identities (King William
    III, John Dryden, etc.)
  • Partially known figures (publishers such as John
    Back, d. 1703, birthdate unknown, or Jonah
    Deacon, fl. 1683-1692)
  • Pseudonyms (R.C. Citizen, author of
    pamphlet,The will of the devill, with his x.
    detestable commaundements) or full anonymity

5
Challenges and points of interest in Early Modern
data
  • Uncertain dates
  • Multiple/variant spellings of names, names that
    do not fit a standard last name, first name
    form (i.e. William III King of England)
  • Anonymity
  • Title conventions

6
Title Conventions
  • Long titles are problematic for cataloguing and
    visualizations
  • Abbreviated titles can
  • cause confusion

Future directions for RoSE and the Early Modern
  • How can we work productively around the data
    (such as dates) that RoSE currently construes as
    missing?
  • What other kinds of visualizations can lead us to
    new knowledge about this data set?
  • Geographical/topographical parameters?
  • Ballad and pamphlets are often published with the
    location of print shop and names of
    printer/publisherscan this readily available
    information be made more productive?
