Abstract
This short contribution leverages the recently released English Drama Corpus from the DraCor project
(Fischer et al. 2019) to create an interactive map of geographical references in early modern English
drama by means of Named Entity Recognition (NER) tools. The prototype allows to visualise interesting
patterns in the playwrights’ use of locations while underscoring the need of improved NLP tools to
effectively tackle geospatial research questions about early modern literature.
