Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 3, No. 344. Monday, 30 November 1992. From: Brian Sobus <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Monday, 30 Nov 1992 02:06:04 -0500 Subject: Travitsky's *Paradise of Women* I'm currently taking two courses which use Travitsky's *Paradise of Women*. One is Shakespeare in the context of Women's Renaissance Culture, and the other is on Women Writers Before 1800. It is the second course where the book is being used more often. The lack of complete works and rather limited biographies are being compensated for through the use of student research. Before we begin discussing a writer, a student gives a biography on her. At the beginning of the course, the entire class signed-up for either a biography or a panel discussion of feminist theory. The biographies have really helped in trying to keep the writers separate, but the sheer number of women writers is a little overwhelming at times. This is especially true when the topics of two writers overlap. Overall, I would say that Travitsky's book is lacking. -BrianThis email address is being protected from spambots.

One that produces a list of variants automatically, for example? I am sure there are such programs (TUSTEP in German among others), but I should like to have the advice of somebody who has actually worked with them--if they exist at all . . .

A colleague and I used it this fall in a course on Voices and Images of Women in the English Renaissance, but it seemed to me that the students had a hard time keeping track of all the women represented, and I found myself wishing that more texts were presented in their entirety. --Constance Relihan (2)--------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Gary Davis <This email address is being protected from spambots.

I have been able to get Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet from ftp archives. I wondered if anyone knows where his others (or other such material) are available.

Portrait in the Nat'l Portrait Gallery I've heard lately from a couple of sources that the supposed portrait of Shakespeare in the National Portrait Gallery (which some have thought by Burbage) has gained some support for its authenticity in recent research. Does anybody have the cites? Much appreciated, Leo Daugherty The Evergreen State College
