I like *Rewriting the Renaissance* Ferguson, Vickers and Quilligan, and I echo the vote for Gail Paster Kern's *Body Embarrassed*. Did anyone mention *Alternative Shakespeares*, Drakakis? I think Prof. Godshalk was feeling uncertian about what to recommend to grad students--well, I was a grad student, and I think it is important to read the current criticism. At least let the students know what's out there--you don't have to personally endorse each collection. Keep the suggestions coming. I'm gathering readings for a busy colleague who's teaching Shakespeare for the first time in several years. This is really helpful.

Your spirited responses have been very helpful, Thanks. Yours, Bill Godshalk

Fred Wharton <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Monday, 21 Nov 1994 20:51:35 -0500 Subject: A Rose and Two Globes On the plane back from Portland last weekend, I chanced to see, in someone else's copy of *The Oregonian,* a photograph of a half-completed *Globe* playhouse. When I borrowed the newspaper, I read a few lines of copy announcing that there will be a season of plays there in 1995 (though I didn't see the name of any company, or any season or dates). I'm assuming that this is the late Sam Wannamaker's Globe project. Reading my email when I returned, I saw the announcement of the attractive-sounding (but unhappily-acronymned) Center for Renaissance and Shakespeare Staging. Is anyone on the Center's faculty involved with staging-decisions at this new Globe? Does anyone have more information on the Wannamaker project? More broadly, can anyone pass on any current information on the Rose or Globe excavations? The last time I saw the Rose site, it wasn't even a hole in the ground any more, the holes having all been back-filled by Simon Blatherwick and his merry men; but there was talk of uncovering the excavations once again as a basement exhibit in the office building which was to be built over the site. Is that anywhere near happening yet? And is there any hope of getting rid of the listed Georgian building (dark Guy Fawkesian thoughts!) that sits on top of the original Globe? Apologies to subscribers of longer standing if this has all been discussed already. Fred Wharton Augusta College

Which is not to say that it still matters, since the pun is lost to a modern audience. Foster. (2)---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Richard C.

Seems like a project that someone ought to have done somewhere along the line, but I sure can't think of anything of the sort. Rick JonesThis email address is being protected from spambots.
