Parsing the Documents
Hyperdocuments

Here you will find what we call Hyperdocuments.  Move your cursor over the reproduced document and link on any highlighted area to read commentary, see related imagery, link to other useful information, and generally move out from the document into the world.  We will add to the list, and to the numbers of links within each documents.  So far we have 'parsed' the following:

• the standard image of Juba dancing at Vauxhall gardens, often reproduced as typical of minstrel dance

• a rough woodcut of a minstrel dancing that may say more than we would have expected

• an image of the Ethiopian Serenaders that has embedded in it a remarkable portrait

• a full analysis of a Manchester review that included a full wench dance, with Juba

• a close look at the report of Juba's death, a moral tale including a skeleton

• a recently excavated document describing the last days of G. W. Pell, singing in an asylum

Note:  We have used the software Apture to provide the pop up information in each document.
