Quoted in Shakespeare in Google Earth
Now you can
look at the places quoted in Shakespeare (85 placemarks). Someone named "H21" from 
at
the Google Earth Community and it has been
a very popular
post. The author must be a literature professor as he purposely left off a
few places and challenged people to find the missing quoted places. One of the
Google Earth team members added a custom placemark
which has a picture of Shakespeare.
I predict
many other literature maps will be ported over to Google Earth as well. This is
an excellent application of mapping technology. A few weeks ago I wrote about a
similar application where the locations of "The
Lord of the Rings" movie scenes were shot.
Travels of
Odysseus in Google Earth
For some
reason, I had the urge to find out where Odysseus might have travelled in the classic greek
epic poem "Odyssey".
Naturally, the Google Earth Community
would be a good place to look. I entered "+odysseus
+odyssey" in the search form and found this
post by 'H21'. Last October, H21 posted this collection of
placemarksshowing
the "traditional orthodox theory" for the locations described from Odyssey as
Odysseus returns home from
H21 is from
Portrait of
the Artist as a Young Man - in Google Earth
James Joyce is often
considered to be one of the most significant writers of the 20th century. His
novel "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" is an autobiographical
coming-of-age story in which he depicts a gifted young man's gradual attainment
of maturity and selfconciousness. The work is full of
geographic references, especially to showing
references to locations mentioned in the book. Most of the placemarks have excerpts showing where the location was
mentioned, and they are organized according to chapters. See
the post for more details and links to reference material. This is an
excellent example of geodocumenting literary
material.
