Subject: SBReviews on the Internet
A couple of days ago, I distributed the four most recent items in the ongoing SHAKSPER Book Reviews Project (SBReviews).
Today, I am pleased to announce that fully formatted PDF versions of these four reviews are now available on the SHAKSPER web site at
http://www.shaksper.net/archives/files/reviews.html
Visitors to this page will find links to PDF versions of all nine reviews that have been released in the project and biographies of the current members of the SBReview Panel. Panel members select the books for reviewing, invite qualified persons to review these books, and critically vet the resulting reviews, including suggesting changes as required; and finally the Panel members approve the final versions of each review prior to publication.
As a SHAKSPER subscriber, you were the first to see these reviews, e-mailed to you as regular SHAKSPER digests. Now, other persons (Shakespeare students, teachers, scholars, and others) wishing to read these reviews will be able to find them in the archives as web pages in the format in which they were originally distributed (i.e., as plain text files) or read them as fully formatted PDF files (formatted as they would have appeared had they been released in a print journal for instance):

The founding moderator of the SBReview Project, Dr. Peter Paolucci of York University in Toronto, Ontario, is rotating off after successfully heading the project since its founding and in so doing establishing most of the procedures under which the Panel operates. Dr. Paolucci will be succeeded by Professor Jeremy Friebig, an Assistant Professor of Theatre at Fayetteville State University, Fayetteville, North Carolina. Professor Friebig is a graduate of the Mary Baldwin College / American Shakespeare Center program in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature in Performance, in Staunton, Virginia. The Panel will also be inviting one or two other distinguished scholars to join the SBReview Panel.
Ideally, SHAKSPER subscribers can expect to see new reviews cyclically two to three times a year.
