About this website

This site is a collaborative study of romanticism authored by students enrolled in English 242, Spring 2005, 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.

RAP 2 is a next generation project. Its hardy ancestor, RAP 1, was built in a similar seminar two years previously, in the spring of 2003. This sister project is described extensively in The Romantic Audience Project - A Wiki Experiment, an essay in the 'Pedagogies' section of Romantic Circles. The RAP in the news index lists published articles referring to this project.
