\"LandingPage\"<\/a>
The landing page for the digital object (which will hopefully be mounted online soon, and available through the Queen’s library catalogue).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After a bit of a search-around for a digital edition framework<\/em> to help me mount the W. D. Jordan Special Collections copy of Lewis Carroll’s Phantasmagoria and Other Poems <\/em>online, I came across this javascript application<\/a> that mimics the functionality of a book. I customized the app, loaded in our images, altered the landing page to include the covers of the book, created a linked-up ‘table of contents,’\u00a0 and slapped it all into a Twitter Bootstrap<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>site that also includes (TEI-adherent) textual and (Emily Murphy-authored) extra-textual material.<\/p>\n

Murph and I had very specific design goals for the object: we wanted a simple, clean, and intuitive layout that represented as closely as possible a reader’s engagement with the material edition. This ix-nayed scrolling layouts that vivisect the book by presenting the object more than once on a page. We wanted a visually cohesive object. The result is what you see below.<\/p>\n

\"OpenBook\"<\/a>
When a user clicks on the book, the booklet.js app is revealed. Here’s the inside cover of Phantasmagoria, with the advertisement for Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The ‘Contents’ sidebar, on hover-over, reveals a linked-up index of the poems. Hovering over the left or right edges of the book reveals a peek at the next pages in the book, and a simple click in this area of the representation turns the page (with an attractive, but hopefully not too distracting, animation).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"TheTrystyng\"<\/a>
Here’s the first page of Canto I of Phantasmagoria (navigated to from the sidebar).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"TheTrystyngInfo\"<\/a>
The javascript application allows for extra-textual information to be included with each page, which is revealed when a user hovers over the ‘i’ in the bottom right corner of the page image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Footer\"<\/a>
Emily and I have also included contextual information on the site: an introductory and historical essay, some information about the physical object, and a statement that outlines the reasons behind our various design choices.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
