Comment: Re: SHK 18.0721 Ellen Terry
Read Laurence Irving's biography, HENRY IRVING, for some useful
information. Have you visited Ellen Terry's house at Smallhythe in Kent
(now managed by the National Trust)? See:
http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-smallhytheplace/
I assume you have read Terry's autobiography, THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
What does the Oxford online DNB have to offer?
Good hunting.

Comment: Re: SHK 18.0721 Ellen Terry
The directory issue of PMLA (I stopped my membership when I retired from
full-time teaching) used to contain a pretty full list of upcoming
conferences. I see in the online version that it's not there any longer.
Does anybody know if it has been supplanted, perhaps by some kind of
online resource? If so, that would be a place for Courtney Glenny to
look for upcoming meetings in the UK. There have, of course, been recent
announcements on this list for British conferences.

Comment: Re: SHK 18.0721 Ellen Terry
Well, I must be having a really bad day and I don't want to sound as if
I am patronising a young graduate student, but I would have thought a
moment's research (e.g. reading a few pages of any of the many excellent
studies of Terry or searching for Terry on Google) would have shown that
there is a major collection of materials on and by Terry (including
costumes [with the recently-restored beetle-wing dress she wore as Lady
Macbeth], her working copies of plays, and masses of her theatre
memorabilia, etc etc etc) at the Ellen Terry Museum at Smallhythe in
Kent, a collection which has been in the guardianship of the National
Trust for nearly 70 years. Not exactly obscure information, is it? So,
one obvious answer to Courtney Glenny's enquiry 'Is there a place in
England I could go and research her letters/written work?' is Smallhythe.

You may find the book, Ellen Terry and Bernard Shaw: A Correspondence,
by Terry and Shaw (Edited By Christopher St. John) (Author) helpful.

Comment: Re: SHK 18.0710 Ellen Terry and Shakespeare Conferences
Courtney Glenny--
I suggest you do a thorough search of Dissertation Abstracts. Because
she was well-known as Henry Irving's leading lady and Gordon Craig's
mother, Terry may have been thoroughly covered in all aspects, and you
may have difficulty finding something "original" to say.
Good luck.
