Subject: Reading List for First SHAKSPER Seminar/Forum/Roundtable
Dear SHAKSPEReans,
I am delighted to announce that Hugh Grady Professor of English at
Arcadia University in Pennsylvania has volunteered to be Guest Moderator
for the first SHAKSPER Seminar/Forum/Roundtable (official designation to
follow).
Professor Grady will conduct a session on Historicism and Presentism
(official title to follow), a subject for which he is imminently
qualified. His publications in this area include the following:
Grady, Hugh. The Modernist Shakespeare: Critical Texts in a Material
World. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1991.
---. Shakespeare's Universal Wolf: Postmodernist Studies in Early Modern
Reification. New York: Clarendon Press, 1996.
---. Shakespeare and Modernity: Early Modern to Millennium. Accents on
Shakespeare. London: Routledge, 2000.
---. Shakespeare, Machiavelli, and Montaigne: Power and Subjectivity
from Richard II to Hamlet. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2002.
---. "Shakespeare Studies, 2005: A Situated Overview," Shakespeare: A
Journal. 1.1-2 (June and December 2005): 102-20.
--- and Terrence Hawkes eds. Presentist Shakespeares. Accents on
Shakespeare. London: Routledge, 2007.
Professor Grady recommends the following READING LIST for those wishing
to participate in the discussion on Historicism and Presentism:
