Welcome to a special one-off episode of the NDW Podcast! Today, Corrie Shoemaker is joining Huw to discuss Victorians in videogames and how it helped establish common tropes in the Nancy Drew videogames.

Corrie Shoemaker, Ph.D. (University of Waterloo) is an author, award winning playwright and professor who specialised in Shakespeare for her M.A. and Ph.D. An Assistant Professor at Thompson Rivers University she researches Canadian Shakespeare, Victorian detective fiction, narrative videogame design and the Nancy Drew series. She was thrilled to work with the Stratford Festival of Canada and Bard on the Beach when researching Canadian identity on the Shakespeare stage for her PhD. Shoemaker has recently completed the manuscript “Speaking of Shakespeare: Conversations with Canadian Artists” and is revising her dissertation for publication. She contributes to the Stratford Festival Reviews website, Marjorie Magazine and has published with Palgrave’s Global Shakespeare and the Victorian Review. She frequently presents on Nancy Drew at conferences and is always up for a new mystery.

People can reach Corrie on her website Literature With Charm or through her author page on Facebook as C.L.Shoemaker. You can also search out her Nancy Drew publications (among other articles) with Marjorie Magazine on the website. Links are below:
