The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 15.0584 Tuesday, 2 March 2004 From: Stuart Hampton-Reeves <This email address is being protected from spambots.

Of course the easiest thing to do would be to post her email on SHAKSPER but that is for Wafa to do if she wishes - I have passed on details about joining SHAKSPER and I hope that she will. In the meantime, several people have been very kind in their offers of support (among them a generous offer from Manchester University Press) and I have put those people directly in touch with her.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 15.0583 Tuesday, 2 March 2004 From: Andy Dickson <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Monday, 01 Mar 2004 12:59:12 +0000 Subject: 15.0573 Scholarly Edition for Othello and The Tempest? Comment: Re: SHK 15.0573 Scholarly Edition for Othello and The Tempest? The need that David Lindley identifies for an updated edition of Ann Thompson's Which Shakespeare?, recommending critical editions and taking into account the explosion of Shakespeare publishing since the 1990s, is something that occurred to myself and the Rough Guide publishers several years ago. Our joint solution, THE ROUGH GUIDE TO SHAKESPEARE, is forthcoming in autumn 2004. This is an excerpt from the blurb: Designed to work equally well as a quick reference and a background companion, THE ROUGH GUIDE TO SHAKESPEARE features: Full coverage of all 38 plays including a synopsis, character list, stage history and a full critical essay. Guides to recommended texts, critical studies and further reading, reviews of the best films and audio recordings, and guidance on where to go next. Fascinating features on such topics as swearing in Shakespeare, fools, cross-dressing and the mystery of Shakespeare's lost plays. A detailed look at Shakespeare's poetry, both the Sonnets and the narrative poems. Everything there is to know about Shakespeare's life, along with a full account of how the plays were originally performed. More than 100 pictures, including photos of great Shakespearian actors and some of the most celebrated recent productions. This is of course a shameless plug, but nevertheless I hope that SHAKESPERians might be interested to hear what we have planned. Yours, Andrew Dickson Author, The Rough Guide to Shakespeare _______________________________________________________________ S H A K S P E R: The Global Shakespeare Discussion List Hardy M.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 15.0582 Tuesday, 2 March 2004 From: Al Magary <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Tuesday, 2 Mar 2004 00:17:53 -0800 Subject: Queen Elizabeth I Society [Forwarded from the Web4Ren list with the permission of the author:] I'd like to let members know about the Queen Elizabeth I Society website: http://www.stedwards.edu/hum/klawitter/elizabeth-society/elizabeth.html Founded in the spring of 2000 by Carole Levin, Donald Stump and others, the Queen Elizabeth I Society aims to bring together scholars interested in the Queen and in the intellectual life and material culture of her court so that we can share ideas, develop professional friendships, and work together on collaborative projects. We welcome specialists in art, history, literature, music, politics, philosophy, and all other relevant fields. Useful links on the site include those of bibliography, iconography, exhibits, other renaissance study societies. Your comments for suggestions for site development are, of course, welcome and encouraged. I am hoping to have a bibliographic database to offer as a contribution to the site by summer that will include links to images, as well as texts.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 15.0581 Tuesday, 2 March 2004 From: Terence Hawkes <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Monday, 1 Mar 2004 12:49:07 -0500 Subject: A Thought for St. David's Day Isn't it time to embrace the full implications of the likelihood that the designation 'Welsh' carried, in an English context in the early modern period, an unmistakable whiff of potential disorder? As a result, the apparent opposition proposed in Henry IV and Henry V between Owen Glendower (Owain Glyn Dwr) on the one hand and Fluellen (Llewellyn) on the other, fails to deliver a genuine polarity. Instead, it raises an issue inherent in all such dispositions and reinforced here by the crude Anglicisation imposed on each name: does the role of the latter, the dutiful disciplinarian, in effect constitute a wry reprise, in a more complex, chilling key, of that of the former, the willful rebel? We might equally ask whether Falstaff's barely palpable 'Welshness' is deliberately echoed, replenished and intensified in Henry V's unaccountably explicit declaration, 'I am Welsh, you know . . .' (4.7.104). If it is, that raises a further and more fundamentally disturbing question: does Hal, even when he becomes King, ever completely reject what his erstwhile companion stands for? Presentists will begin by observing that recent British history seems to confirm disruption as fundamental to the role of Prince of Wales. Unsurprisingly, both the current incumbent and his predecessor have expressed considerable admiration for Shakespeare. T.
