I think you can't go far wrong if you pronounce it without any obvious stress, i.e as Condle. (There are spellings Condle, Condall etc for people around that time). Unfortunately, there are also spellings Cundell, Cundle, Cundall, Cundill, Coundall which might be the same name! (These presumably derive from the place-name Cundall in Yorkshire North Riding.)

I should think that buying the plays used on the >Net would be time-consuming, and still expensive. Any suggestions? If you want all the plays in up-to-date individual annotated volumes, I think you'll have to bite the bullet and invest a fair amount of either time or money! With time, you should be able to find used copies of the Arden edition 2 or 3 on the internet for around 4 to 7 bucks each (amazon.com 'marketplace sellers' prices). Or - the old-fashioned way - visit the used books department of your nearest major city or university bookstores. With money, your best bet is probably to do as I recently did and strike a deal with your local bookseller. Mine gave me a ten percent discount on the complete works in the New Penguin Shakespeare edition (or near-complete works; they don

To receive, edit, and then send out the digests, I will need to be staying in a room with a telephone. Many of the accommodations I have booked already are guest houses that will not have telephones in the rooms. So when I get a room with a telephone, you will hear from me; otherwise, I
