About this website

This site is a collaborative study of romanticism authored by students enrolled in English 242, Spring 2003, taught by Mark Phillipson at Bowdoin College. The site was built with open-source wiki software called SnipSnap, adapted for our class by Bowdoin's Educational Research & Development Group.

In Spring 2005, RAP was joined by a second-generation version: RAP2

This project is described extensively in The Romantic Audience Project - A Wiki Experiment, an essay in the 'Pedagogies' section of Romantic Circles.

A RAP in the news index lists published items referring to this project.
