Subject: 	SHAKSPER Roundtable: Week One Digest

Dear SHAKSPEReans,

In a few minutes, I will distribute the first digest of our first week's 
Roundtable discussion on the topic of Presentism.

Two members contributed in response to Hugh Grady's initial statement of 
Monday, January 29: http://www.shaksper.net/archives/2007/0065.html

My hope is that in the following weeks more members will feel inclined 
to contribute/participate in this Roundtable, a formal venue on SHAKSPER 
for discussion of topics of current interest to the disciplines of 
Shakespeare or Early Modern Studies.

I also hope that my Thursday, February 1, message clarifying Roundtable 
procedures <http://www.shaksper.net/archives/2007/0067.html> cleared up 
any misunderstanding that might have arisen from early descriptions of 
the plans for operation.

Roundtable digests will be distributed once a week on Sundays, Mondays, 
or Tuesdays. On Friday evenings of the week (EST), I will send all 
responses of that week to the Guest Moderator, who will organize, 
summarize, and comment on those replies. To distinguish these digests 
from the quotidian traffic on the list and to make searching the 
archives easier, I will label all of the digests on this topic "SHAKSPER 
Roundtable: Presentism."

I welcome all private correspondence from members about the methods or 
procedures of the Roundtable discussions as they evolve.

Hardy M. Cook
