The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 14.095 Tuesday, 21 January 2003 From: Graham Hall <This email address is being protected from spambots.

May I take my little hammer to a couple of accretions of verisimilitude that have appeared in a recent mail? "...in the case of a bad quarto [and] the person who took down the actors' words..." Both these "verities" provide a suspicious clang when tested by the wheeltappers of modern opinion. It will not take a mighty Nimrod to discover this.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 14.094 Tuesday, 21 January 2003 From: Mike Jensen <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Monday, 20 Jan 2003 16:05:23 -0800 Subject: SAA and Ferry Service Those attending SAA may want to be aware of a possible transportation problem. The Sidney ferry station, it is the station used to go from the U.S. to Victoria and back, will be closed from early February through April 12 (the last day of the conference) for renovation. I wrote Washington State Transit to ask if there was any other way to Victoria as was told simply: >Our International Run will be closed from February 1, 2003 through >April 12, 2003. So that seems to be that. I'm not sure, but there may be a back door way by taking a ferry to Vancouver, then on to the other ferry station near Victoria, even though the statement from the WST seems to preclude that. Perhaps SHAKSPER members in the area can tell us more? Right now it looks like the best, and perhaps only route is to fly directly into Victoria, and for people like me, give up our plans to visit friends on San Juan Island prior to the conference. All the best, Mike Jensen _______________________________________________________________ S H A K S P E R: The Global Shakespeare Discussion List Hardy M.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 14.093 Tuesday, 21 January 2003 From: Douglas Chapman <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Monday, 20 Jan 2003 12:47:46 EST Subject: Shakespeare & the Colonies Just a "heads up" RE: an article in the Winter 2002-2003 issue of Colonial Williamsburg. The opening line WILL suffice, I think: "Sir Francis Bacon's name might not be well known in Williamsburg were it not for the belief of some individuals that he wrote Shakespeare's plays and had them buried in the churchyard of Bruton Parish [Virginia]." It goes on. It is well to know what is being said. Douglas Chapman _______________________________________________________________ S H A K S P E R: The Global Shakespeare Discussion List Hardy M.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 14.091 Tuesday, 21 January 2003 From: Mari Bonomi <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Monday, 20 Jan 2003 09:45:03 -0500 Subject: 14.087 Re: Shakespeare and Research Comment: RE: SHK 14.087 Re: Shakespeare and Research Bill Arnold asks, "For instance, do we know where he got his background materials for his ancient history plays: Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra?" Based on the translations I've read, I'd say Petrarch. There are some very close parallels in both plays. And surely Latin would have been a component of whatever education his grammar school offered him?
