TRAVELS IN COMPUTERLAND is an outsider's perspective on the mad world of computing. The outsider is Ben Schneider, an English professor who knew little about computers before finding himself engaged in a mammoth computer project converting The London Stage, an 8000-page calendar of performances from 1660 to 1800, to a computer-accessible information base for scholars in theatre, drama, and history.
