We publish the annual journals Shakespeare Studies (edited by James R. Siemon and Diana E. Henderson) and Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England (edited by Susan P. Cerasano), through a special arrangement with Associated University Presses, our publishing partners from 1967-2010.
Through Rowman & Littlefield, we publish edited collections of papers given at the Blackfriars Conference, organized semi-annually by the American Shakespeare Theatre in Staunton, VA and devoted to issues of early modern staging.
We publish the book series Shakespeare and the Stage, edited by Matthew Kozusko and Peter Kanelos, featuring books on the theatrical dimensions of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries (and welcoming both individual studies and collections of previously unpublished essays).
The list of Shakespearean scholars whose books we have published includes Stephen Booth, James C. Bulman, Sean Benson, Nancy Mohrlock Bunker, Joseph Candido, Walter W. Cannon, Joseph Candido, Maurice Charney, Monica Matei-Chesnoiu, Sid Homan, Travis Curtright, Sarah Enloe, R. W. Desai, Louise Geddes, Sarah Hatchuel, James Hirsh, Kristine Johanson, Matthew Kendrick, John Klause, Bernice Kliman, Inge Leimberg, Richard Levin, Catherine Loomis, James P. Lusardi, Cary M. Mazer, Kathryn McPherson, Mark Jay Minsky, Kathryn Moncrief, Barbara A. Murray, Frank Occhiogrosso, Geoffrey S. Proehl, Sid Ray, Robert Sawyer, Rick J. Santos, June Schlueter, B. J. Sokol, Ekaterina Sukhanova, Nancy Taylor, Virginia Mason Vaughan, Allyna Ward, R. S. White, and Robert Willson, Jr.
In short, we have a proud history in Shakespeare Studies. If you have a manuscript or a proposal you would like us to consider, please contact Dr. James Giffordat
